Association of Serb Refugees from Croatia holds press conference
The Association of Serb Refugees from Croatia held a press conference in Banja Luka, where they stated that Serb refugees voting in the Croatian presidential and parliamentary elections would mean legitimizing the electoral and constitutional authorities of Croatia, which discriminate against the 600,000 Serb refugees and the 180,000 remaining in Croatia. Association President Petar Dzodan said that, according to the Croatian Election Law, Serbs from Croatia have been brought down to the status of national minority. Serbs would be given the right to elect only one representative to a Croatian Parliament of 140 representatives. They would not be able to realize their right to vote, because they are deprived of citizenship, stated Dzodan. The Association will not acknowledge the elections in Croatia.
