While one side (the official one) invites the Serbs to return to their hearths in the Republic of Croatia – which is good, the other side (unofficial one naturally, yet still very important) warns them to think hard before they make a decision like that and head in the direction of Croatia. The best illustration of this situation is something that happened in the village of Lipovaca, region of Vukovar, where Zeljko Rozic and Danijel Babijas (both of Croatian nationality) broke the marble icon of Saint Procopius the Great Martyr on the cross in the centre of the village, on Sunday, March 10.

As usual, the police visited the scene of crime, conducted investigation and made a report. However, we strongly believe that no proceedings will be instituted against the mentioned men.
