In the once Serbian Vukovar, Serbs were beaten again
In the Croatian city of Vukovar, a 27-year-old local resident, a member of a right-wing radical football fan group, was arrested for participation in an attack on two local Serbs, who received multiple injuries.
There were several attackers, but everyone except the arrested man managed to evade responsibility.
According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, the incident occurred last Sunday night near one of the entertainment venues on Svoboda Street. The victims of the attack by Croatian radicals were two Serbs, 31 and 36 years old, the attack was preceded by verbal insults. As a result of the attack, the victims received minor but multiple injuries.
According to the Vukovar police, all the other participants in the attack are also known, but so far they have not been arrested, they all belong to right-wing radical fan groups. The detainee was arrested for a month.
Serbophobic graffiti has long been a sign of Croatian Vukovar.
It should be noted that such attacks on Serbs in Vukovar occur regularly. Moreover, in the 90s, the city was one of the largest cities in the unrecognized Republic of Serbian Krajina in Croatia. And it was here that the full-scale war on Yugoslav territory essentially began, when units of Nazi-leaning HOS militants, through attacks, murders of soldiers and officers, and a blockade of barracks, managed to draw units of the Yugoslav People's Army into the conflict alongside the Serbian militia and Chetniks who had previously opposed them.
After the capture of most of the RSK by the Croatian army in 1995 as a result of Operations Lightning and Storm, the easternmost part, territorially adjacent to the Federal Yugoslavia, remained in limbo - the Croatian army did not dare to venture there. And only in 1998, the remaining territories, which included Vukovar, were “peacefully reintegrated” into Croatia by decision of the international community.
