SARAJEVO, October 25 (FENA) - The Croatian Embassy in BiH has condemned the recent attacks on buildings and memorials of the Croat people in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The latest attack was on the memorial to the fallen Croatian war veterans in the municipality of Vitez and the second attack on the building of the Catholic Church in Bihać.
“These acts of vandalism, as well as the recent threats to Croatian political representatives in Bugojno, and the violent removal of the flag of the Croat people in Bugojno and Vareš, constitute a series of serious incidents directed against the Croat people in BiH. Attacks on objects and symbols of the Croat people provoke fear and mistrust, and must not be ignored. The Embassy of the Republic of Croatia, therefore, calls on the highest and competent institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina to condemn such incidents, shed light on their background and sanction those responsible,” the Croatian Embassy in BiH announced.
They also state that Croatia is committed to all efforts to strengthen BiH on its European and Euro-Atlantic path, guarantee the equality of all three constituent peoples and all citizens, and strengthen respect for coexistence, tolerance and the rule of law.
