ZAGREB, Croatia

Jewish, Serb, anti-fascist and Roma groups in Croatia have commemorated the
victims of a World War II death camp, boycotting the official ceremonies for
the fourth year in a row over what they say is government inaction against
neo-Nazi sentiments in the European Union country.

Hundreds on Friday gathered in silence at the memorial center at Jasenovac
to pay their respects to the tens of thousands of people killed in death
camps run by Croatia's pro-Nazi puppet state. Commemorations mark the
attempted escape in April 1945 of 1,073 prisoners from the Jasenovac camp
when hundreds were killed.

The Croatian government will hold a separate commemoration ceremony on
Sunday.

The head of Croatia's Jewish Community, Ognjen Kraus, says "nothing has
changed in the past year, the situation is even worse."
