Serbia president Tadic to visit Vukovar

Serbian President Boris Tadic is coming to Croatia in November when he is expected to visit Vukovar and pay respects to 200 Croatian prisoners killed in nearby Ovcara by Serb militias in 1991.

Tadic’s visit to one of the places most devastated by the war is a move that, some say, could lead to the closing of an important chapter in inter-state relations.

Vukovar mayor Zeljko Sabo said that he is certain that Tadic’s visit to Vukovar is welcome. "Politically speaking, one chapter of the 1991 war could be closed [with the visit]," he added.

The President of the Serb National Council Milorad Pupovac said that Tadic’s visit to Vukovar is important because it would contribute to calming down of remaining negative feelings that still exist between the two states.

"The visit would show maturity and prove that both countries can deal with the heritage of the war," he said.

But the vice president of Croatia’s leading party the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Ivan Jarnjak says that a visit without a clear message does not mean much.

"I await the message with impatience," he added.

Tadic will also visit Paulin Dvor, a place where 18 Serbs and one Hungarian civilian were killed by Croatian forces, the daily Jutarnji List writes.
