My letter to AP and Calibre Macroworld ----- Original Message ----- From: angelina markovic To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 11:26 PM Subject: for the Associated Press Worldstream
Dear Sirs, Calibre Macroworld republished news entitled "Orthodox church in Croatia opens new museum after the old one was destroyed during the war" provided by Associated Press Worldstream, today at 9:29 AM (http://calibre.mworld.com/m/m.w?lp=GetStory&id=199222441). I am writing to you, asking to correct false information (in bold) provided in this news. <quote> ZAGREB, Croatia-Thirteen years after its museum was blown up during the 1991 Serbo-Croat war, the Croatian Orthodox Church put its icons, manuscripts and other works of art on show Thursday at a new location in Zagreb. "Like the Phoenix, this exhibit has now been reborn from the ruins of the war," said Bishop Jovan, the head of the Orthodox Church in Zagreb. </quote> There is no so called the Croatian Orthodox Church. During WWII, Nazi Croatian Ustasha regime declared a law on Croatian Orthodox Church in 1943 (formed in 1942, dissolved in 1945), to preserve racist theses of A. Starcevic and J. Frank on so called "Croatians of Orthodox faith" (read: Serbs). That was one more way to decline Serbs in Croatia. For your information: during the WWII Croatian Ustashe annihilated more than 600,000 Serbs only in one of the concentration camps - Jasenovac and more than 1,000,000 Serbs, Jews and Roma people in (Independent State) Croatia entire. In last 10 years Croatian New-Age regime in accordance with Franciscans in Croatia (and Vatican) are willing to "rebirth" this spooky organisation, and separate Serbs from their faith, converting them not only to the "Eastern Orthodox," but to change their national name, to so called "Orthodox Croats." Also, His Grace Bishop Jovan is the Metropolitan of Zagreb and Ljubljana Diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church, as same as a reopened museum is the Museum of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The facts are: Today in Zagreb the Serbian Orthodox Church in face of its Metropolitan of Zagreb and Ljubljana Diocese, His Grace Bishop Jovan, reopened Museum of Serbian Orthodox Church. The former Museum of SPC (SOC) was brunt down in centre of Zagreb in 1991 by still unknown hooligans. Zagreb was not a space of "war"-operations. So, the icons, manuscripts and other works of art on show belong to the Serbian Orthodox Church Museum in Zagreb. All these facts are well known, so, you can use any common available source to verify my claims (even Wikipedia is almost correct in this matter). Or, you can read broadcasts of Croatian newspapers on internet which confirms my statements. Being a fan of AP reporting I am finding my selves very disappointed with this offensive way of reporting from one of the most important events after 10 years of unblessed relations in the Balkans. Admire to read AP News with trust again, I am expecting to find out this badly news corrected. Best Regards, angelina markovic, Co-president of German Serbian Commission for the Consistent Application of International Humanitarian Law and the Dignity of Justice by Foundation of Truth. P.S. I am forwarding this letter to the Calibre Macroworld to. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
