To me, it is really interesting that those who call croatia a democratic state really can't show support for their claim:
1. Using the same flag used by Croatian Nazis (Ustase)?
2. Using the same currency as those by Croatian Nazis in WWII?
3. Using the same National Anthem as those by Croatian Nazis in WWII?
4. Franjo Tudjman openly talking in a presidential rally that he thanx God for not being married to a Serb, Jew or a dog?
5. Streets across Croatia being named after WWII Nazis which were then renamed again after a pressure from EU?
6. Croatian soccer fans creating Swastikas during games?
7. Franjo Tudjman claiming that the total number of Serbian, Jewish and Gypsy victims in Jasenovac is no more than 50,000 altogether?
8. Creating over 50,000 new words in the vocabulary (many of which just sound so ridiculous just to prove that they have no connection to Serbs)?
9. Not teaching Cyrilic alphabet in schools because it is a Serbian alphabet?
10. Blowing up a Jewish Synagogue in Zagreb in 1991 and blaming the Serbs for it? I do not recall seeing anywhere in the news or otherwise that Serbs were doing that to Jews. Quite the opposite, Jews have come to Serbia from Croatia, Kosovo and Bosnia to escape these Croatian, Muslim and Albanian murderers
11. Making NHD (Independent State of Croatia in WWII) as a begining of a modern Croatian state, a state which on December 11, 1941 declared war on United States and still hasn't signed a peacy treaty?
12. Claiming that Nikola Tesla was a Croat eventhough Tesla's father was a Serbian Orthodox priest?
All of these cannot be done without a majority support of the Croatian people. Last I heard, majority, not minority, rules.
On a personal experience, an entire male population of my mother's village was put on the war crimes indictments in so-called Croatia (which I still do not and will not recognize eventhough I was born in a country today occupied by Croatian nazis), including a woman who lived in Serbia during the war and an 80-year old man....That is not a good sign of denazification and freedom of expression, that is a sign for "do not dare come back".
To add, I once called the Croatian embassy asking for a passport, but was told that I am not eligible because my birth certificate is too old. Few days later, claiming to be a Croat who left as a child, I was immediately told that I can recieve my croatian passport as soon as I show proof with a birth certificate that my parents have kept since moving to United States. Double standards/fascism/racism?
Over 80,000 croats live in Serbia and no one bothers them. Why? Because Serbs are not fascists like the Croats.
I have always believed that people can always be better (with the exception of Muslims) by showing it in voting those who oppose racist ideoligy.
