President of the Serb National Council in Croatia Milorad Pupovac says it is necessary to establish different ways of communication between Zagreb and Belgrade. Pupovac told the Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti that this was a condition for establishing the Reconciliation Council between Serbia and Croatia, where representatives of parliament, the Serb Orthodox and the Catholic churches would be represented along with other influential figures. C. Serb leader urges "different communication" Pupovac continued to say that he had a brief conversation with Croatia’s Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, but that this was not the main subject, and that Sanader had said that he wanted to talk about the issue "in the days to come.” "What he said made me feel optimistic regarding his approach towards this initiative. If you ask me, it will be less difficult to gain support from both politicians and public personalities about who from the Croatian side should make up this council,” he said. Asked about whether the lawsuits that the two countries have filed or will file against one another would jeopardize the position of ethnic Serbs in Croatia, Pupovac said that the lawsuits had “created anxiety with local Serbs, brought up painful memories and fears that were still to be overcome.” "However, they have affirmed our beliefs that we should not allow wars, this time legal, determining our destiny to be fought over our heads,” Pupovac said. He said that the proposed council should include people who would have the “undisputable capability to create the assumptions that we can deal with the consequences of the wars of the 20thcentury peacefully”. Pupovac said that now that he was certain that the conditions for the council’s work exist, he will state its basic points and areas of its activities. "It is very important that this should not be understood as an ad-hoc job. It takes time. The condition, its task is, to establish different ways communication between Zagreb and Belgrade,” Pupovac said. After the latest chill in the relations between Serbia and Croatia, following Zagreb's genocide lawsuit at the International Court of Justice for alleged genocide during the 1990s wars, Pupovac ten days ago proposed the setting up of a reconciliation council, whose main goal would be to influence the normalization of ties between the two countries.
