Orders, decorations, and medals of Croatia

Dacic pointed out that Croatia has been designated as an aggressor by the Hague Tribunal.

"This is an internal political demand and propaganda, because Croatia is not doing well. Croatia has been marked as an aggressor. It has been marked in the Tribunal; Serbia has not been marked by any act," he told TV Pink.

The chief prosecutor of the UN war crimes court on Dec. 3 urged Croatian leaders to face up to what happened in the past and work towards reconciliation, after the suicide of a Bosnian Croat leader.

Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic "uttered a bunch of nonsense" when she reacted on this week's Hague Tribunal ruling.

This is according to President of the Alliance of Serbs from the Region Miodrag Linta, who commented on Grabar-Kitarovic saying that although the Hague found the country's 1990s-era state leaders to have been members of a joint criminal enterprise, it was Serbia, rather than Croatia, who was "the aggressor."

This was announced in a statement for the media late on Wednesday, after the Appeals Chamber announced the final verdicts against Prilic and five other wartime Bosnian Croat leaders.

Their guilty verdicts for the persecution of Muslims (Bosniaks) in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1993 until 1994 were confirmed, as well as the prison terms, ranging from ten to 25 years.

On October 8, Croatia marks the day in 1991 when the republic's parliament held a session in secrecy that severed all ties with Yugoslavia.

The assembly thus confirmed the parliament's earlier Declaration of Independence from Yugoslavia, passed on June 25, 1991.

An elderly man has committed suicide on the grave of the first Croatian president, Franjo Tudjman, the Croatian website Index is reporting on Monday.

Tudjman was buried in Zagreb's Mirogoj cemetery.

Three former members of Croatian Serb rebel units went on trial in absentia in Zagreb for burning homes in the village of Nova Derencina in central Croatia in 1991.

In an interview for the Croatian weekly Globus on Wednesday, an MP from the governing Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ, Miroslav Tudjman, blamed Bosnia's former President, Alija Izetbegovic, for encouraging the birth of Islamic terrorism in the 1990s.

The Youth Initiative for Human Rights said it was threatened by a member of the governing Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ because of its campaign apologising to Serb victims of the 1995 military operation ‘Storm’.
