Brief description:
The members of the political party Domovinski Pokret regularly accuse Serb minority organisations and media outlets of “anti-Croatian” acts and call for suspension of the funding provided to them.
Domovinski Pokret advocates for the “Croatization” of media, education, and science. One of the declared goals of this “Croatization” also implied negationist revisionism of the World War II genocide against the Serbs undertaken by the fascist Ustasha regime in the Jasenovac death camp.
