BANJA LUKA -- Croatia's President Ivo Josipović is a bigger nationalist than 
previous presidents, says Veritas Documentation and Information Center Director 
Savo Štrbac.

He said that Josipović had proven he was a worse nationalist than previous 
Croat Presidents Franjo Tuđman and Stjepan Mesić by saying that 200-300 Serbs 
had been killed in the Operation Storm, Srna news agency has reported.

Štrbac said that Josipović, as the Croat president and co-author of a genocide 
lawsuit against Serbia, “needs to know better than that”. 

“I want to remind Josipović that according to Veritas’ data, that is included 
in Serbia’s countersuit against Croatia for genocide, 1,922 victims of the 
Storm are on the list, 62 percent of whom are civilians and more than half are 
older than 60 years of age,” he stressed. 

Štrbac added that around 800 remains of the Operation Storm victims had so far 
been exhumed. 

According to Veritas, there are still around 400 unregistered graves that 
should be exhumed. 

“How come the president, who is an international law professor who was a 
co-author of the genocide lawsuit against Serbia, does not have this data? This 
is horrifying. How will Croatian people be informed if the president is not or 
does not want to be informed? I think he knows this very well,” the Veritas 
director said.
