The NGOs told a press conference that the activities marking the 70th anniversary of the resolution would start with a mini film festival in cooperation with the Croatian Film Association.
Zagreb's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences will organise a joint conference with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences from Ljubljana and a tour of the complex is also planned, the press conference heard.
Vesna Terselic of the Documenta NGO underscored the problem of the complex decaying and said that it was one of the rare examples in all of Europe and that it should be preserved. She claimed that there hasn't been any particular interest in protecting the complex on Goli Otok and Sveti Grgur islands as a cultural heritage and stressed that 14,000 people had been detained in the camps, including women.
"The Ministry of Culture should approve funding for the works and about HRK 150,000 to 400,000 is required for the initial works. This is the last year for preventative protection, yet nothing has been done in that regard. All the governments so far have failed to protect Goli Otok," Terselic said.
