More bilingual signs damaged in Croatian town

VUKOVAR -- Signs on public buildings written in Croatian and Serbian have once again been the target of vandals in the Croatian town of Vukovar.

The Zagreb-based daily Večernji List writes that unknown perpetrators this time went after the signs on the Office of the State Administration of the Vukovar-Srem District, and also damaged or destroyed those placed on three court houses at the Palace of Justice.

As the signs on the Palace of Justice were put up at the height of over three meters, the daily speculates that those were smashed "using some object."

The same building also has surveillance cameras active 24-hours a day, the newspaper reported, and noted that this was the fourth time that bilingual signs were damaged on the administration building.

Incidents and violence targeting public signs written in Serbian Cyrillic - the language of Vukovar's Serb minority - began last September.
