Systematic fanning of the Jasenovac myth

While in the Republic of Croatia the number of victims of the "Jasenova myth" is decreasing as much as possible and is constantly decreasing (the number of those killed and not tortured in the camp does not exceed 7000 people, maliciously insinuates the pseudo-scientific, Ustasha-like dredge), in the neighboring Republika Srpska, with mandatory patronage (undoubtedly also instructions) from Belgrade, headed by President Vučić and with the assistance of Patriarch Porfiri, the number of those killed is increasing to the maximum

DW: Did Vučić give the Montenegrins the task of adopting the Resolution on Jasenovac?

Relations between Podgorica and Zagreb were seriously damaged due to the adoption of the Resolution on Jasenovac in the Parliament of Montenegro. The question remains whether it is about "paying respect to the victims" or whether the interests of the regime in Serbia were considered more.

Moral profile of fighters for secular dogma

"Not only did one generation turn an assumed number of victims of Jasenovac into a dogma, deifying it and turning it into a secular religion, but it reduced dealing with Jasenovac only to an abstract defense of that dogma, where neither the memory of the victims - neither liturgical nor secular, nor research, neither the arrangement of the place of suffering, nor the creation of a museum, nor education about suffering are necessary, or at best, they are irrelevant"

The Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church draws attention to the fact that "the multiple reduction of the number of Ustasha victims is historical revisionism", that it is part of "a projected comprehensive, global process whose creators revise and intend to destroy all the values of human civilization". In the statement, the synod dealt with "anti-Serbia" and various "slanderers". According to the Synod, they refer to Bishop Jovan, whose views on Jasenovac the Serbian Orthodox Church distances itself from

Manipulation of the victims of Jasenovac: Milorad Dodik gives wrong information

It is not true that 700.000 people were killed in Jasenovac, as the president of Republika Srpska said. During the 44 months of existence of the Jasenovac camp system, between 122.279 and 130.120 people were killed. Any bidding to the victims can neither increase nor decrease the horror

Facts about Jasenovac: Who is manipulating and why

The Ustaše concentration camp Jasenovac is once again at the center of daily political Serbo-Croatian events, and history is exposed to manipulations. Thus, the number of victims in Jasenovac is often equated with the total suffering in the NDH, and the total losses in the camp are equated with Serbian victims. This raises the question of whether that process was spontaneous or perfidiously imposed, and what was the role of the state, that is, of some republics and their elites.

Vučić's (un)departure to Jasenovac: Summer inflaming of tensions

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić wanted to go privately, with television crews, from Republika Srpska to Jasenovac and light a candle for the Serbs who died in the camp. He did not consider it necessary that, as the president of the state, he should officially inform Zagreb about this in advance. Due to the violation of procedures, the Croatian authorities did not grant him entry into Croatia and raised doubts about his good intentions. They say that he announced his arrival in the short term and indirectly with the intention of not letting him into Croatia so that he could play the victim at home. Sharp reactions are coming from Belgrade
