Vucevic: Genocide was committed against Serbs in Jasenovac, we will not allow historical revisionism

Serbia's ruling SNS party leader and presidential adviser Milos Vucevic said on Thursday that the most monstrous genocide against Serbs, Jews and Romani was committed in Jasenovac, and that Serbia will never allow history to be revised.

Jasenovac was a death camp complex ran by the Ustasha regime of the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during the Second World War.

"It seems that it's difficult for some people to face the truth?! It seems that some people are 'offended' by the truth about the suffering of innocent souls, about the killing of Serb children?! If only they knew that they will never be able to avoid the truth, no matter what bypass they use to escape it," Vucevic stated in a post on X.

He was reacting to the news that a delegation of the European Parliament that is coming to Serbia today asked not to enter through the main hall of the Serbian National Assembly, because an exhibition about Jasenovac is displayed there.

Jasenovac is not something that has been made up, it was a death camp where the most monstrous genocide against Serbs, Jews and Romani was committed, Vucevic reiterated.

"During the Second World War, over a million Serbs were killed in the territory of the NDH, in Jasenovac, Gradiska, Jadovno. Serbia does not hate anyone, but it does not forget the crimes committed against its people," said Vucevic.

Serbian National Assembly President Ana Brnabic said earlier on Thursday that the Assembly received an official letter requesting that the delegation of the European Parliament not pass through the central hall where the exhibition dedicated to the victims of the Jasenovac genocide is displayed.

The reason for the request, according to the letter, are "the sentiments of certain MEPs."
