BELGRADE, ZAGREB Foreign Minister Ivan Mrkic has confirmed that Serbia "informed the countries where it has diplomatic missions" about the anti-Serb incidents in Croatia. He also stressed that Serbia was "doing everything to help its people in that country." "Countries informed" about anti-Serb incidents in Croatia "After a series of not only incidents, but very ugly events in Croatia, we have created a register of all that, which is not something the perpetrators should be proud of," Mrkic was quoted as saying. He then explained that the register was "transformed into a list, a document of sorts, that was sent to virtually every country where we have diplomatic missions, and to those where we are present on non-residential basis, so that all governments of the world can learn about our position, and these events." According to Mrkic, this was "met with an abundance of reactions and of course no one could agree with such behavior." Mrkic added that Serbia was in constant contact with the Croatian government, which, he said, "was itself trying not to profile itself abroad with such events, particularly those fully reminiscent of the (WW2 Croatian fascist) Ustasha era, and the worst time in relations between the two nations." "We are doing everything in our power to help our people, but we do it in a way that we believe will be effective, not cheaply popular," the foreign minister was cited. The Croatian news agency Hina previously reported that Serbia a few days ago sent a non-paper to foreign countries, listing the recent incidents targeting Serbs. They range from removal of bilingual signs on public buildings written in Serbian Cyrillic, an attack on a Serbian consulate, and a football game incident involving a member of the Croatian national team who used a fascist greeting. The Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs said that the incidents were "an isolated phenomenon, not the rule," adding that the authorities respect the Constitutional Law on National Minorities.
