Croatian Serb leader Milorad Pupovac says that neither the Serbian nor Croatia sides have any real facts to base their ICJ genocide suits on. The leader of the Independent Democratic Serb Party in Croatia told B92 that the suits between the two countries were a product of the fact that Serbia and Croatia had never agreed on how to approach the war’s legacy, adding that no agreement had ever been made for sharing the responsibility for the human tragedies. “Serbia, Croatia cases bereft of real evidence” “I see two reasons: the first is that any serious talk on the character of the war is avoided, because that stops us from opening that chapter and discussing it in earnest. Secondly, certain people in Croatia want to relativize the issue of crimes,” Pupovac said. Former Croatian President Franjo Tudjman never authorized the suit against Serbia, but it was later given the green light by former Prime Minister Ivica Racan after he came under pressure from right-wing leaders, the Croatian Serb leader said. “The first suit was completely amateurish because it accused Serbia of ‘Storm’ and ‘Blaze'. Racan, lacking courage and under pressure from the right, changed the suit to its current form but did not send it right away, keeping it on hold,” he explained. Pupovac said that he did not like the fact that the suit was raising the issue of collective responsibility once again, adding that responsibility for the crimes from the 1990s should be exclusively individual.
