Serbian Internal Affairs Minister Aleksandar Vulin claimed on Wednesday that the Croatian authorities were lowering the number of people killed in the Jasenovac death camp to hide the role of the Croats in World War 2.

A ministry statement quoted Vulin as saying that Croatian prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic claimed in meetings with his European Union counterparts that most Croats joined the anti-Nazi Partisans adding that “he should not repeat something as stupid as that in front of Serbs”. “In order to hide the truth about the role of the Croatian people in WW 2 the number of people killed in Jasenovac is being deliberately reduced and the countless pits and slaughtered Serb children are not being mentioned,” he said in reaction to Plenkovic’s statement that “the largest number of partisans were Croats”.

According to Vulin, Croatian Bishop Alojzije Stepinac is being canonized because “if the vicar of the Ustashi (WW2 pro-Nazi Croatian military) becomes a saint then the military he was spiritual leader of is as holy as he is”. “Croatia has not realized that de-Ustashization is not the process of lying about the role of the Croats in WW 2 but repentance before the victims of the Ustashi madness and condemnation of the (war-time Nazi puppet) Independent State of Croatia. “The Croats aren’t at fault for being forgiven for Jasenovac without repenting, the Serbs are to blame for not demanding repentance,” he said.
