The period of human moral idiocy in which several million Jews were killed, mainly by the Nazi Germans, the worst kind of people, was over. Unfortunately, they also had their abettors in Croatia. As a Croat, I am aware that this also happened among my people and that it happened here in Croatia\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said, addressing media representatives after the wreath-laying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why, the President believes, \u201cthis symbolic, brief obligation is an important gesture of every public official\u201d. \u201cIt is even more important that we guide and educate our children from time to time, but persistently, about what happened and how easy it is for that banality of human evil to burst into flame in an individual and in a group of people\u201d, the President added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked by journalists what he thought about imposing a ban on symbols and insignia of the Ustasha regime, President Milanovi\u0107 said that he was previously very clear in regard to that. \u201cLet those who can make that change take over this task now \u2013 the representative body of the Republic of Croatia\u201d, he added, reiterating that his position was well-known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will take this opportunity to send a message and a request to the people of HOS (Croatian Defence Forces) not to do that anymore because that salute is a Nazi salute and it only tarnishes their contribution to the defence of the homeland, to everything they in fact gave in the period in which they were active as a party militia, but not after that. It\u2019s a request; I can\u2019t physically prevent that, but I will indicate what my clear position is in every situation such as that one\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6061-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6061-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6068-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6068-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6080-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6080-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6096-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6096-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6117-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6117-768x576.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6264-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6264-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6283-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/DSC_6283-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Dario Andri\u0161ek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI will take this opportunity to send a message and a request to the people of HOS (Croatian Defence Forces) not to do that anymore because that salute is a Nazi salute and it only tarnishes their contribution to the defence of the homeland, to everything they in fact gave in the period in which they were active as a party militia, but not after that.
