During his farewell speech on July 1st, now former Croatian Prime Minister referred to the founder of Croatia - the late President Franjo Tudjman - simply as "Tudjman."

Croats are a phenomenal footballing nation, evidenced by remarkable
triumphs and memorable victories on the pitch. We all remember France
'98 and the glorious march to a tremendous third place finish for a
national team that represents approximately 7 million people

redundant.

Possibly not seen or heard of since the days of Milosevic's Belgrade-sponsored anti-Catholic and anti-Croat hysteria, an ugly campaign of defamation has commenced in modern Croatia. This isn't 1946 and Cardinal Stepinac isn't on the stand at a communist show-trial, but it might as well be, as the neo-communist, Yugoslav media behave like Tito's Agitprop.

When soon-to-be Saint Pope John Paul II visited Croatia his final time, he greeted the Croats by calling them "the fearless witnesses of faith." While there, he called on the Croats to once again open their hearts to mercy and forgiveness. To love thy neighbor and forgive the trespasses of those who raised their hand against them throughout their long and turbulent history.

For years it has been the Croats that have asked forgiveness. For... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Manhattanite) http://hrvatiamacforum.yuku.com/topic/888 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 21:40:43 GMT http://hrvatiamacforum.yuku.com/topic/889/t/ThoMPson-amp-the-Croatian-diaspora.html ThoMPson & the Croatian diaspora

When Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader publicly expressed his displeasure over Mile Pesorda’s slander lawsuit filed against Yugoslav author Predrag Matvejevic, the Croatian mail-order media applauded him.

It dawned upon years ago that there was a specific campaign being conducted with the purpose of viciously branding BiH Croats as "fascists," "xenophobes," and the remnants of an "ustasa-dinaric civilization" intent on destroying Croatian society, being incompatible with Croatia's, let's call it, EU ambitions.

There's a joke circling Croatian society that goes something like this: How will Mesic be remembered after his death? Second to Franjo Tudjman.

An interesting thing happened recently on the international scene. Slobodan Milosevic, widely known as the "butcher from Belgrade," died in his cell in The Hague. Milosevic shook the world in the late 1980's and early 1990's with his rise to power and all the wars he mastered-minded against Serbia's neighboring peoples and nations in the years to come. His demise came after the turn of the millennium when his own people forced him out of power.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Manhattanite) http://hrvatiamacforum.yuku.com/topic/896 Thu, 16 Mar 2006 06:32:08 GMT http://hrvatiamacforum.yuku.com/topic/897/t/The-Independent-March-13-2006.html Johann Hari: Milosevic's death must not let us escape Britain's responsibility for aiding his crimes

Bolton and the Balkan tribunal

By Jeffrey T. Kuhner

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia was initially created to punish those who perpetrated war crimes in the Balkan wars of the 1990s. It was never intended to become a politicized, antidemocratic tribunal aimed at intimidating opposition journalists in the region. Yet this is exactly what has happened.
