At the request of Committee members from the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), Milorad Pupovac and Ratko Gajica, the Committee opened a debate on what the SDSS deputies said was an increasing number of attacks on Croatian Serb returnees.
Pupovac distributed to the Committee members a report compiled by the Serb Democratic Forum (SDF), describing some 40 attacks on Serbs in 2005.
None of the attacks has been prosecuted, which negatively affects the process of return and reintegration of Croatian Serbs, Pupovac said.
Deputies of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), Niko Rebic and Ivana Sucec Trakostanec, said the report was incomplete and lacked credibility and therefore could not be discussed. They called on the SDSS to collect relevant police reports to be discussed at the next session of the Committee.
Pupovac agreed with the proposal, saying that he would collect police reports which would be "longer and more exhaustive" than those collected by the SDF.
