The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended today a commemoration of the 80th<\/sup> anniversary of the tragedy of the village of \u0160ajini, which experienced an unprecedented crime in the night between 8 and 9 January 1944 when fascists killed fifty villagers and set the village on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address at the commemoration held in memory of the innocent civilian victims President Milanovi\u0107 stated that this tragic event hits close to home since his grandfather was killed when Senj was bombed by the Germans in the Second World War, an event similar to this one in the Istrian Municipality of Barban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’d like the troubles on which people can’t have too much influence to bypass us, from the war in Ukraine to the war in the Middle East, and that we have as little connection to them as possible because we can’t change or stop them. I would like us to consider our own interest, to remain just and humane in doing so, and to learn lessons from what wasn’t right in Europe,” President Milanovi\u0107 said, adding that Europe is necessary and good as it is, but not much more. “At its core are national states which are historical, and just as the Croats in Istria have a historical right and aspiration to be part of Croatia, so do the Czechs, the Poles, the Hungarians, and the Portuguese have the same desires and aspirations, and those aspirations are just and they exist. And no European policy can change that”, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 recalled that Europe was a bloody soil throughout history. “The wars of today are also a warning. People are killing each other, there are double and triple standards. There are those who are strictly assessed and criticized, and those who live in a more relaxed framework. And on the fringe of all that are we, a small state and a small people, the state of the Croatian people, including here in Istria, where people were killed and fought for this to be Croatian land”, the President noted, reminding that Croatian Istria was liberated in 1945 with Croatian weapons, it was a fight fought by Istrians and largely Dalmatians. \u201cAnd my ancestors, who came to fight here for the Croatian land and the people who live here\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also speaking at the commemoration held every year not to forget the great sacrifice made by innocent civilians and as a warning to all regimes of the senseless of hatred and wars besides President Milanovi\u0107 were the president of the Local Council Doris Glava\u0161, the head of the Municipality of Barban Dalibor Paus, the president of the Union of Associations of Antifascists of Istrian County Branko Oplani\u0107 and Istrian County-Prefect Boris Mileti\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the commemoration President Milanovi\u0107 laid a wreath and lit a candle at the memorial to the victims. Accompanying President Milanovi\u0107 was the Adviser to the President for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
