Any discrimination, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual
orientation, social or regional origin, or any other basis, is
                        unacceptable.
 Croatia rejects all forms of extremism, intolerance and
  xenophobia.
  Justice that does not make exceptions and patriotism
  that is not based on personal interests, which does not
  remain only in words, but patriotism, which is
  confirmed by the works and is reflected in the results -
  it is a model of our society.
 Each of us creates our behavior, or deny justice. So do
  not be afraid, we must not keep silent, we should not
  turn our head!
 Courage is the one who conquers injustice, which
 achieves a better, fairer society.
 But not in the history of this area was not always so.
 The wars and post war periods have written different
 stories. Here are some examples of intolerance and
 injustice happened during the Croatian history:
 Jasenovac was a concentration camp in Croatia as a result of
  policies of racial and ethnic intolerance. In Jasenovac were
  killed about 60 000-90 000 people.
  A large number of Serbs, Jews, Romani and Croats (Ustasha
  regime opponents) were killed there in the time of the
  Independent State of Croatia NDH by the 10th April 1941.
  under direct influence of Nazi Germany. Today there is The
  Memorial Museum Jasenovac.
 Stara Gradiška was the most notorious concentration and
  extermination camp in Croatia during World War
  II, mainly due to the crimes which were committed against
  women and children. The camp was specially constructed
  for women and children of Serb, Jew, and Romani ethnicity.
  It was established by the regime of the Independent State
  of Croatia ("NDH") in 1941 near the village of Stara
  Gradiška as the fifth subcamp of the Jasenovac
  concentration camp.
 Jazovka is a pit in the Žumberak area of Croatia where the
  bodies of approximately 500 Croatian soldiers and civilians
  were dumped during and after the Second World War. The
  first victims were Croat soldiers captured by Partisan forces
  in 1942 in the vicinity of Krašić.
 Although locally known, the pit was rediscovered in
  1990, after the fall of communism in Croatia. Jazovka is the
  symbol of communism system intolerance.
 Goli otok is an Adriatic island, in 1949 officially made into a
  high-security, top secret prison and labor camp .It was used
  to incarcerate political prisoners. Many anticommunist
  (Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, Albanian and other
  nationalists etc.) were on Goli Otok. Non-political
  prisoners were also sent to the island to serve out simple
  criminal sentences and some of them were sentenced to
  death. Numbers of total prisoners and massacred victims
  are unknown but some theories says about 32,000 male
  prisoners. Today the island is free for tourists and visitors.
 The last case was in the very near past, in the time of the
  Croatian War of Independence which was fought from 1991
  to 1995. Thousands and thousands were killed and missing.
 The Vukovar massacre, also known as Vukovar hospital
  massacre or simply Ovčara, was a war crime that took place
  between November 20 and November 21, 1991
 When the battle ended, the scale of the destruction came
  as a shock to many who not been out of their shelters in
  weeks. Siniša Glavašević, a reporter for Croatian Radio and
  a native of Vukovar, who had stayed in the town
  throughout the battle, described the scene as the survivors
  emerged:
 The picture of Vukovar at the 22nd hour of the 87th day
  will stay forever in the memory of those who witnessed it.
  Unearthly scenes are endless, the smell of burning, under
  the feet the remnants of old roof tiles, building
  materials, glass, ruins, and a dreadful silence. ... We hope
  that the torments of Vukovar are over of Vukovar.
 The murders occurred at the end of the Battle of Vukovar.
 Ovčara is located 5 kilometers southeast of the city of
  Vukovar.
 The Serbian forces turned Ovčara into a prison camp in
  early October 1991. Aside from the massacre, 3,000 to 4,000
  men prisoners were temporarily held in the camp before
  being transported to the prison in Sremska Mitrovica or to
  the local army barracks, which was the transit point for the
  Serbian concentration camps Stajićevo, Begejci and others.
 The men brought to Ovčara included wounded
  patients, hospital staff and some of their family
  members, former defenders of Vukovar, Croatian political
  activists, journalists and other civilians. Ovčara was closed
  on December 25, 1991. Its total count was around 200 men
  killed and 64 missing prisoners on Ovčara only.
 In Vukovar and Ovčara you can visit: Vukovar
  hospital, Ovčara Memorial Centre, Vukovar cemetery
 We will be the force of positive changes in the
 future, destroy the foundations of injustice and creates
 a new Croatia. This will be the country we deserve, it
 will be beautiful, desirable home to all honest people.
