The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a note of protest to the Embassy of North Macedonia in Belgrade for a stamp representing the state map of the Nazi puppet state of Croatia during the period of Bosnia and Herzegovina of 1941-45, with territories belonging to montenegro
The stamp was issued in Skopje as a token of appreciation for the support given by the Croatian presidency to the EU for the Northern Macedonia European Course.
The note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia says: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia expresses its strong protest against the printing and publication of a stamp with the geographical map of the Independent Fascist State of Croatia of the Republic of Croatia ( NDH), which includes parts of Montenegro and all of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The reference to the NDH evokes memories of the citizens of Serbia and the Serbian people in general from the darkest period in recent history. Such attempts at historical revisionism have seriously disturbed bilateral relations between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of North Macedonia, as well as cooperation and stability throughout the region. ” The Serbian Foreign Ministry characterizes the issuance of the seal as hostile provocations and immediately demands its withdrawal from circulation. “The publication of this stamp on the anniversary day of the victory over fascism is seen by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia as a hostile provocation against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Serbia. In addition to insulting all Serbs who they were killed by hundreds of thousands in the NDH concentration camps during World War II, “said the protest note by the Serbian Foreign Ministry in northern Macedonia.
The corresponding stamp also provoked strong reactions from parties and organizations in northern Macedonia representing the Serbian minority.
