Namely, Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry claims that Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs first refused to accept Serbia's demarche, although Serbian Ambassador had already scheduled appointment with this purpose in mind.
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia considers the act of its Croatian counterpart to ban entry and stay of the delegation of Serbian Ministry of Defense and Serbian Army, utterly unfounded", the statement says.
“The delegation of the Defense Ministry and VS’ visit was announced to Croatian authorities”, it is stated in the note of Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry.
As it is underlined in the press statement of the Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry, such decision was contrary to the basic principles of modern Europe which envisage the freedom of movement, the right to preserve religious and national heritage and paying respect to innocent people killed during the Second World War.
“The Ministry points out that on the part of Serbia there haven’t been any ‘inappropriate acts,’ nor any reaction by ‘Serbia’s political leadership.’ We remind that President Aleksandar Vucic has refused to comment on Croatia’s leadership’s statements that followed the ban. Serbia remains dedicated to the improvement of the regional stability and good neighborly relations and believes they can be achieved in concrete talks, and not via media", it is concluded in the statement.
Ivo........I guess you just confirmed that you are a racist, nazi and fascist.
So, nothing new in Croatia......

ITALY is yet another country that croatia is fighting for
This time over the monument to an Italian poet
d Annunzio.
Always something. If it is not left hand, it is the right hand.

We know as usual tit for twat. On a interesting note Americans [link] know more about Croatia then their own country. It would be interesting what they know about Serbia.
(Lenard, 12 September 2019 18:38)
Plus it was the Partizans who fought to help these victims not the Serbian Army.
Soldiers like Franjo Tudjman Croatia’s first president should be honoured
(MarkW.)
Yes the paritzans should be honoured. Tudjman was a traitor like the nationalists in Serbia, Bosnia,...

Croatia has nothing to hide, especially from a rogue state like serbia. The attempt to cross the border without previous announcement was a pure provocation. What does serbia hope to gain by such provocations? Facelessness, shame galore.
(Irish, 10 September 2019 19:49
Wrong. The Serbian officials notified the Serbian border police who passed on the information to the Croatian border police plus the Serbian Ambassador notified the Croats that these people were coming to Jasenovac. Its interesting to note that these same Serbian military cadets attended the commemoration at Jasenovac with the full knowledge of the Croats last year and no incident.
If you have not worked it out I'll tell you. Its an election year and what better way of showing your "strength" then pulling such a stunt.
Too bad its back fired on the Croats badly.

No croatia has nothing to hide ever
Just constant arguments with most of the neighbours. Croatia provoking and no end to arbitration and court cases on the International level.
Just to name the few:
BiH
Montenegro
Slovenia
Rep Serbia.
And kicking out 300-400 thousands of its own citizens.
And killings.
No Croatia has nothing to hide.
I watched live on the TV 24/7 so no denial.
EU country? That needs kicking out. So now croatia is preaching rep Serbia...

Soldiers ordered to enter a foreign country for a political propaganda show.
They are lucky they didn’t end up in prison.
If they truly wanted to pay their respects they would have done it with their families as private citizens showing the respect that is deserved. They however wanted to use the victims as some sort of prop for a political show.
Plus it was the Partizans who fought to help these victims not the Serbian Army.
Soldiers like Franjo Tudjman Croatia’s first president should be honoured for fighting the fascists. Were they planning on honouring him as well?
Would Serbia have a problem if the Kosovo Liberation Army sent some soldiers to Belgrade to honour this victims found in the mass grave on the Serbian army base outside the city?

So keep turning the other cheek and see if this behaviour is going to end.
In other words, keep doing the exact definition of insanity.

Hey Irish, do you have trouble reading in English?
Serbia did announce their intention to attend. How did you miss that?
