Josipovic will begin his two-day tour on Thursday with a visit to the village of Kukujevci in the region of Srijem, where he will meet with local authorities, ethnic Croat representatives and Bishop Djuro Gasparovic in front of a destroyed Catholic church. Before the Homeland Defence War and Serbia's aggression against Croatia, this village in Vojvodina was predominantly populated by ethnic Croats. However, in the early 1990s the ethnic make-up was changed with local Croats being forced to leave the village and Serb settlers arriving there.
Josipovic will also visit the ethnic Croat community in the nearby town of Sid and after that he is expected to address the press.
On Thursday afternoon he will hold a bilateral meeting with Boris Tadic in Belgrade.
On Friday, 2 September, Josipovic will attend the 9th regional summit meeting on contemporary art and reconciliation in southeastern Europe. The conference, to take place at the archeological site of Viminacium near the town of Pozarevac, is organised by UNESCO and the Council of Europe.
