In Croatia, a Serb was arrested for “war crimes” after he hit his Croatian neighbor several times during the war.
The President of the Union of Serbs in the region, Miodrag Linta, strongly condemned the recent arrest of Serbian Dragan Mitrovic at Zagreb airport. He was detained for “war crimes” allegedly committed in 1991 and 1992 against civilians.
According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, Dragan Mitrovic was arrested on January 8 at Zagreb airport when he was returning from the UK, where he had been living with his family since 1999, to his home village of Karanac (Baranja region), which in the 90s was part of the now destroyed Republic Serbian Krajina. A judge in Osijek sentenced him to a month of pre-trial detention on the grounds that Mirotvic could allegedly put pressure on witnesses or leave the country.
“Mitrovic's arrest is one of many proofs of intimidation of the remaining Serbs in Baranja to force them out of areas where they have lived for centuries, as well as to keep the expelled Serbs from returning to their domains,” Linta commented on the situation. – Mitrovic was suspected of war crimes based on a statement from a local Croat, whom he hit several times during the war. True, after the war, before Mitrovic and his family left for the UK, they communicated normally.”
According to Linta, Mitrovic has been regularly coming to his village from the UK for ten years and has not had any problems so far.
“It is absolutely obvious that the Croatian judicial system has an ethnic background and serves as a justification for the supreme lie and fiction that the Serbs are aggressors and criminals, and the Croats are liberators and victims. At the same time, the Croatian Prosecutor's Office does nothing to punish those responsible for numerous crimes against the Serbian civilian population and prisoners of war. Therefore, it is high time for the War Crimes Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade to open a criminal case for numerous crimes against the Serbs,” says the chairman of the Union of Serbs in the region.
