Nationalist outbursts in Croatia "not isolated incidents"

Croatia chose to join the EU and follow its values.

Croatia needs to enact and enforce laws that criminalise people who indulge in the kinds of hate described in this article.

Croatia should have more adequately addressed the wickednesses of its past before joining the EU.

Given that it didn't, it must do so now.

Ned K, this have been going on for more then 2 decades now. What action will EU take? I would imagine they'll give them support, as they always did. I guess, this sums up the answer to Bob, too.
Croatia and its "wickedness" are perfectly in line with what EU is and what it stands for. After all, Croats didn't do anything alone.

Bam Bam I am a little amazed. On one side we have facists saying they should be free to speak as they chose, on the other hand when someone complains about hate speech, your pro Ustasa side says that they should leave Croatia - thereby contradicting your own free speech arguement. Then you suggest, another country not even mentioned in the article should wake up?!?

Yes, Freedom of concsience and freedom of speech should allow for people to disagree, but a reasonable limit on freedom of speech is to ban speech that can be proven to threaten the safety of others (such as threats to person/property, inciting crime, etc). If you want law and order and democracy in Croatia, than you should accept that.

Personally, as far as "Za Dom Spremne" I am not offended by it, I find it pathetic and embarassing. Personally I think it is wrong to interrupt an enemy who willingly makes a fool of himself. However, Croats should be offended by it, and they should understand that their minorites are very much alarmed and threatended by it. If they want to distabilize their own country, and cause more bloodshed and rage in their own towns and villages than how can they call themselves patriotic?

This bloke.....all he does is whinge and constantly complain, but guess who's paying his salary and covering his expenses in his fancy apartment in Novi Zagreb...naturally Croat tax payers. If you don't like living in Croatia go to Serbia where I'm sure Nikolic will pay you peanuts and give you a government home in some village close to the Bulgarian border. Maybe its time for Serbs in Croatia to choose a leader like Dzakula who will lead them on the right path in acceptibg Croatia as their homeland and not constantly hoping for a failed and defunct return of TZV. Krajina. For heavens sake Serbia grow up !

So sad, they don't know to respect elementary rights of national minority. Something like that can't happen in Serbia.

what the croats need another beating like the last time ,they should thank the west the last time but the west nor NATO wont help you this time .....your oljua are whatever you called it was against old and woman and kids because the serb fighters pulled out from western pressure andn ot you that's for sure and its been proven many times...here's to refresh your memory....

@ bambam

After all the fascist sentiment, Croatia is doing a great job of showing the world what they stand for. Again, a few will spoil it for all.

Wait and see what action is Eu going to take agenst Croatia.

These Croats are certainly something. In Bosnia they are leaving the Bosniak areas and trying to move in RS where Serbs live and yet these same scumbags do not think twice in terrorising Serbs in Croatia or tearing down signs written in Cyrillic. Now go and figure that one.
I’ve heard stories about these “hooligans” being a minority. No it’s the other way around. The numbers that think its wrong what is being done to Serbs are so small it not worth worrying about while the huge majority are nothing but Nazi pigs. In a population of 4,200 000 in Croatia about 50,000 fall into minority category while the rest are Croats in their true nature.
All I can say is boys and girls in Croatia enjoy while you can because its not going to last very long. When Serbs take control over Croatia (not militarily, but financially) and they will, it will be slow roasting of Croatia to ensure they experience all agony 1000 fold.
If you think I’m joking then read up on the article where Brussels declares the Southstream pipeline contract anti EU. Brussels is filling its nappies as I write because they will not be able to control any aspect of that vital energy pipeline.

May, many migrants from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, China, Syria and Afghanistan come to your EU doors, oh Croatia, and seek refuge. For it is only then, that you will realize how much your hate and mistrust, will only open doors to others to take their place, who will in the end seek far more from you, and give you far less in return.

Croats are the worst from all of the "Serbs" in the world.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Serb is born with eraser in his hand, not a rifle like you say! Croatians is strong a artist that his whole life is drawing without an eraser. You Serbs always have a same story that always has different ending! How long will you beat this dead horse WWII your whole history reads as the April Fools Day. You too weak go ahead, progress, moving on! weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. We forgive you.
