The 70th anniversary of suffering of Serbs, Jews and Roma in Jadovno Ustasha concentration camp is marked today in the Croatian village of Jadovno near Velebit. According to different data, about 40,000 people were killed in the concentration camp from May until August 1941. More than 90 percent of them were Serbs. Croatia: Ustasha concentration camp victims commemorated Serbian President Boris Tadic will attend the commemoration and Croat President Ivo Josipovic, Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor and Republic of Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik will send special envoys. One of the commemoration organizers and Serbian National Council President Milorad Pupavac has said that Tadic's arrival to celebration of the 20th anniversary of Croatia's independence and the Jadovno commemoration should not cause negative reactions in Croatia. “Bearing in mind that Jadovno is a place that the Serbian president will visit for the first time, there is no reason to create a negative campaign, especially since several close relatives on his mother's side were killed in Jadovno and I think that public will keep that in mind,“ Pupavac told B92. Josipovic paid his respect to victims in Jadovno last year and expressed his sympathy with all those who had lost their loved ones there.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
