Ivo Josipovic says his Serbian counterpart would be invited to the Statehood Day celebrations "if other presidents from the region were invited as well". The Croatian president made the comments as preparations for the celebrations were falling behind the schedule, and advised "against looking for someone to blame for the fact the event's program was still unknown". Unclear if Tadic will attend Croatia statehood celebrations There has been speculation in Croatia that Josipovic and PM Jadranka Kosor were at odds over who to invite, and also where to hold the gathering - in Vukovar or in Zagreb - with the president said to prefer the latter. Josipovic told reporters on Thursday that the celebrations "would contain all the important elements", and also "look back on the 20-year history of independence". Meanwhile, the country's ruling HDZ party, as well as some other right-wing parties, spoke against inviting Serbian President Boris Tadic, while the opposition Social-Democrats and the Croat Party of Rights welcomed the idea. In Belgrade, Tadic's cabinet announced that he had no plans to visit Croatia on the day of the celebrations, June 25. Instead, the Serbian present will travel to the neighboring country the next day, to pay his respect to the WW2 victims of the fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH) Ustasha regime at Jadovno, near the town of Gospic. Jadovno was a concentration camp and an execution site where mass murder of Serbs, Jews and Roma took place. Ivo Josipovic (file)
