Serbian Deputy PM and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic said on Sunday that Serbia and the Serb Republic (RS, Serb entity in Bosnia and Herzgovina) are united in preserving the truth about the WW2 death camp Jasenovac and will never allow the crimes committed there to be relativized, or the number of victims to be presented as lower than it was.

Dacic stated the following in a post on Instagram:

"The commemoration of the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the NDH (Independent State of Croatia) Genocide in the Jasenovac concentration camp and its largest execution ground, Donja Gradina, carries a message of remembrance and warning.

In that place where human history has written its darkest pages, where an attempt was made to wipe out entire nations just because of their name, religion and origin, most monstrous crimes were committed against the innocent Serb, Jewish and Roma people.

We dedicate our memory to those who were guilty of being born. Over 20,000 children died (in Jasenovac). Every child whose life was extinguished there represents a wound in the heart of our people that will never fully heal. The Republic of Serbia and the Serb Republic stand united in preserving the truth, they will never allow the relativization of crimes and the reduction of the number of victims. It is our duty to remember, to never forget, to tell the truth about the Jasenovac martyrs and to preserve it.

Glory eternal and peace to them."
