President Boris Tadic congratulated on Monday Ivo Josipovic on his victory in the second round of Croatia’s presidential elections. Tadic urged him to work together on “establishing of the European civilization norms in the Western Balkans and preservation of peace and stability in the region”. Tadic congratulates new Croat president “The future of all peoples and states in the region is in the European Union where we should be good neighbors and friends. Serbia and Croatia have a key role in the process of transformation of West Balkans into a zone of lasting stability and sustainable development. The prerequisites of such policy are establishing of a legal state, tolerance and work on joint economic goals and other values,” Tadic’s message was quoted by news agencies. As for the genocide lawsuits filed before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) by both countries, Tadic “reiterated Serbia's stand that any confrontation between states and their people is futile”, adding that it is “more appropriate to solve such disputes by way of out-of-court settlements”. “However, domestic courts should protect the rights of victims, who as he underlined, must never be forgotten,” the Serbian president's office stated. “There is no collective guilt and every criminal can be named. The criminals should be punished for their deeds for the sake of victims and their families and reconciliation of peoples in the Balkans,” Tadic underscored. According to him, Serbia expects from the new Croatian president the recognition of Serbia's integrity, return of the exiled Serbs, returning of their property, acknowledgement of human and minority rights, the right to work and employment and the right to the preservation of identity and culture, including the right to the use of letter and language. “Moreover, Serbia has the same obligation toward its Croat national minority ,” Tadic said.
