PM in Jasenovac: We pay respects to the victims and their families and condemn in the stongest terms the criminal regime

The Jasenovac victims deserve a single, joint commemoration, Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Sunday, after the official state commemoration to the Jasenovac WWII concentration camp victims ended, expressing confidence that an agreement regarding a joint commemoration would be reached with representatives of the Alliance of Associations of Antifascist Fighters and Antifascists (SABA) and the Serb National Council (SNV).

"The government is working on overcoming the divisions. My government and I have made clear steps forward. I believe that through dialogue with SABA and the SNV and representatives of the Jewish organisation we will promote understanding and create a situation to have a single, joint state commemoration because Jasenovac victims deserve that," the prime minister said.

This was the third commemoration this year to pay respects to Jasenovac victims.

After today's official commemoration, Plenkovic said this was an opportunity to once again pay respects to the victims and their families and condemn in the stongest terms the criminal regime.

"The government clearly condemns these crimes," Plenkovic said
