More than 15 grave stones had been damaged in a cemetery in
Celebic in the past few days, the statement said, adding that
crosses from several graves had been destroyed in a Catholic
cemetery in Jablanica.
"Because of this, we are forwarding a harsh protest to the
domestic and international public and international factors who
only register such cases, but do nothing to prevent them," the
statement said.
Asking that the perpetrators be indicted for their crimes, the
Jablanica municipal HDZ committee stressed that "it is all
concentrated against the Catholic community on occasion of the
oncoming holidays of All Souls' Day and All Saints' Day".
