We need to do more than the usual protocol of placing flower wreaths, to emphasize the importance of this year’s commemoration, to give a kind of step forward that would be the base of new steps “, said Matic for TV N1.
“Building peace, I quote a Croatian author, building peace is dirty work, not just dirty work if you think you got down on your knees and got dirty, but you accept certain kinds of negative reactions from both yourself and the other side. When I look at the comments in public, there are many who find room for criticism, for insults, for humiliation, ”said Matic.
The Day of Remembrance of the victims of the National War was celebrated in Vukovar, as well as the Day of Remembrance of the victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja.
For the first time this year, the envoy of the President of Serbia, Veran Matić, was in the Column of Remembrance, as well as the deputy prime minister of the Croatian government from the ranks of the Serbian minority, Boris Milošević.
