A movement set up to "end the persecution of Croatian defenders" will on May 4 stage a protest in Zagreb during the visit of Hague Prosecutor Serge Brammertz. The anti-Hague sentiment has been strong in Croatia since the UN war crimes court last month found two former Croatian generals guilty of taking parting in a joint criminal enterprise aimed at permanently expelling the Serb population, during 1995's Operation Storm. Croats to protest during Hague prosecutor's visit Now the movement that is set to organize the protest says they will attempt to block a part of the town in order to prevent Brammertz from meeting with Croatia's officials. The movement's leader Zvonimir Trusic also called on "veterans and other citizens" to join them. Trusic criticized the Croatian government and the manner it which it treats the country's "national interests and veterans", blasting the policy conducted by the authorities as "capitulatory and treasonous". He also described Brammertz as "a member of the third-class elite that is visiting Croatia, while thinking in their arrogance that they can dominate the Croat people". Trusic also told reporters that he was convinced his stance was shared by most Croats, and that the "subservient government receiving these clerks and so-called important persons does not have the permission from the Croat people for such actions".
