On a statue erected in Pavelić's honour

Simon Wiesenthal Center comments the recent Croatian efforts in erecting a statue in Pavelić's honour

Jerusalem Simon Wiesenthal Center denounced "utterly rediculous accusations" insinuated by Tomislav Dragun, a Croatian Human Movement predsident who recently asked Tomislav Karamarko for a protection from Jewish Nazi hunter and a director of the Center, Efraim Zuroff. According to the SWC explanation, this sort of panic is utterly farcical, but they still withold opinion of a statue erected in Pavelić's honour in Zagreb as a - product of a sick mind -.

Zuroff asserts in a communique that anyone asking for a proof that Dragun, as well as his movement, has lost a grip on a reality, could freely consult charges on account of Dragun's media offsets. This kind of blatant accusations, asserts Zuroff, - are a clear indication that extreme right wing in Croatia, represented by CHM, propagates the worst kind of a sick fantasy. -

- If someone in Croatia should ask for a protection, that should be the rest of the Croatian society which should be really spared of the true embarassements, since Dragun as well as his movement couldn't be seen as a devoted representatives of the Republic of Croatia in any manner whatsoever. - corfirms Zuroff in the communique.

Let us remind, that the Jerusalem Center who counts over more than four hundred thousand of members, asserted in a communique sent to Croatia a note in which they confirm their true beliefs that the Croats should use the means to put an end to the inconsiderate idea of erecting a statue in Pavelić's honour in due time. This kind of a statue, they confirm, would be an insult to all of the innocent killed Serbian, Jewish, Gypy and anti-fascist civillians.
