Stjepan Mesic has criticized the Croatian parliament’s decision to spend more money on the commemoration for Bleiburg victims than Jasenovac victims. “The fact is, not one Jasenovac victim was to blame for the Bleiburg victims, but a lot of Bleiburg victims were guilty for a lot of victims at Jasenovac,” said the Croatian president, stressing that the excuse that Jasenovac had received money earlier and Bleiburg had not, did not wash. "Jasenovac more important than Bleiburg" A commemoration for Second World War war crimes in Yugoslavia should be held in Jasenovac because it was the biggest death camp in the region, said Mesic, adding that Bleiburg, where the victims included many members of the former pro-Nazi quisling authorities, should nonetheless be commemorated too. The parliament’s decision was also criticized by the Anti-Fascist Council. Stjepan Mesic (FoNet, archive)
