World War II memorial in Croatia vandalized 27 November 2008 | 16:56 | Source: Tanjug ZAGREB -- Unknown perpetrators have vandalized a memorial to the victims of Ustasha war crimes in the village of Prkos, near Karlovac.
The monument is dedicated to 478 villagers and about 1,000 people from neighboring villages killed by the Ustasha in December 1941.
Reacting to the incident, the Serb National Council (SNV) said that the vandals had left vulgar messages of hate and intolerance, as had been done to hundreds of other destroyed or vandalized memorials to the National Liberation Struggle and the civilian victims of the Ustasha terror.
The SNV and Prkos locals expect the state to investigate and punish the perpetrators and send a message to the country that contemporary Croatia is not perpetuating the ideology of the war criminals of 1941, the SNV stated.
Prkos is populated mainly by the elderly, and many Serb returnees still do not have the necessary conditions to return to normal village life there.
Some of the homes in the village are visited every now and then by their owners, who currently live in Zagreb.

Can you post one positive article about Croatia ever? I posted the one of a "Croatian New Deal." Then proceeded to denounce the American New Deal inspiring it.

"u hr nema mjesta za cetnike "
If you can call a bunch of civilians in the mentiond villages chetniks. I know you are ok with this vandalism, I can only imagine the fury you would feel if the article said, Vukovar memorial vandalized with Chetnik slogans.

^ Nothing but a bunch of kids playing dumb. It's all good though, if they want to disrespect the very people that died for being a certain someone back in the day, they may do so. Irony and Karma run hand in hand.
