Croatian PM rejects Serbian remembrance day initiative

"With all due respect and condolences, we don't prescribe holidays and days of mourning for anyone, nor will anyone do it for us," Milanovic said, according to the Croatian agency Hina.

The initiative was supported by the president of the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina (RS), Milorad Dodik, who said it "came at the right time and was a part of continued peace efforts Serbia is making to strengthen reconciliation and cooperation in the region."

But Hashim Thaci, who serves as foreign minister and first deputy prime minister in the Kosovo government, said the initiative was "unacceptable."

Al Jazeera quoted Thaci as saying that "reconciliation must be in the service of the future rather than daily politics and the creating of media spectacles."

Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic commented on Sunday to say that those who are rejecting the proposal to establish a joint day of remembrance in the region "fail to recognize an opportunity for reconciliation for the sake of their own petty interests."
