Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality Committee Chairman – Press Statement

Regarding the erection of a monument to Miro Barisic in Croatia, the Chairman of the Committee on Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality Meho Omerovic made the following statement:


“Full rehabilitation of Ustasa and inverted values is underway in Croatia, not just support, but aggrandizement of criminals! To raise a monument to a terrorist and murderer in an EU member state, someone who has been tried and convicted in an EU member state, is not just scandalous, it is also worrying. In Europe as it is today, after World War II, that is unseemly and shameful.

The attendance of Croatian ministers makes the occasion especially weighty.

The EU which is founded on anti-fascism must react, otherwise this will send a signal to all the member states that it is acceptable to raise monuments to those who stand for fascism and Nazism or who served it as Ustasa. Is EU’s silence a signal to all other fascist collaborators in Europe, from Norway, the Baltic states, Hungary, Italy, Spain and finally Germany that it is acceptable to praise the biggest evil of the 20th century and the biggest criminals and killers?”
