The statement of the Vice-President of the Assembly of Vojvodina Nemanja Zavišić that all Croats are Ustasha is absolutely unacceptable and must have no place in public space, especially when it comes from a high-ranking provincial official, the President of the Croatian National Council, Jasna Vojnić, told Vreme.
Vice President's Announcement Assembly of Vojvodina Nemanja Zavišić, who wrote, among other things, that "perhaps not all Ustaše are Croats, but all of them are Croatians they are Ustashas" she was met with harsh criticism.
On that occasion, Jasna Vojnić, the president of the Croatian National Council (HNV), told "Vreme" that the HNV as an institution that represents the Croatian community in Serbia clearly and unequivocally condemns hate speech.
He points out that the statement in which Croats are collectively labeled in such a way is absolutely unacceptable and must not have a place in public space, especially when it comes from a high-ranking provincial official.
"On the controversial statement of the Vice-President of the Assembly of Vojvodina, his political colleague, the fifth Vice-President of the Assembly, should first of all comment Vojvodina, and the institution from which that statement comes. The president of the political party, which often presents itself as the 'official political representative of Croats in Serbia', should talk about this in particular. "If anyone has the political and institutional responsibility to react to the statements of his colleagues from the provincial parliament, it is him," Vojnić told Vreme.
He notes that HNV is not a political party nor does it participate in political polemics within the parliament.
"In that sense, it is expected that those who are part of the same political and institutional structure will be the first to announce about this topic," concludes Vojnić.
