"Recently, Croatian authorities arrested Josip Boljkovac for the mass murder

of anti-communists after the end of World War II. Mr. Boljkovac, 89, is charged

with committing numerous war crimes at the infamous Dubovec camp ".

 

 

Dear editor,

 

It is quite shocking to read this sort of articles in Washington Times, considered as a serious and

worldwide known newspaper. It is not the first time that your "journalist", instead of informing, spreads

a sort of unhealthy propaganda  for someone, in the wrong way.

 

When speaking about the making of the kingdom of Yugoslavia, Mr. Kuhner is wrong about the Croatian good intentions.

My grandfather Milan Vukelic, the Serb,was one of the members who participated in making that kingdom of Slovenia, Croatia and

Serbia, with his cousin Josip Juraj Straussmeyer, the catholic bishop of Zagreb, but from the very beginning a minority of

Crotas were against that union. The result was that in 1909, some  53 were arrested and judged for the treason, which was largely described

in sptember 1909 issue of the Croat magazine "Globus" published in Zagreb which is today in my possession. ( I can send you a copy if you wish).

According to  Croat magazine "Globus",  then Austro-Hungarian authorities claimed that  parts of Croatia where Serbs lived were completely

autonomous by the decree of the empire, but the Croats would not accept the fact. I am in possession of many documents from that period left

by my grandfather.

 

Later on, what happened in Marseille –France, in 1934 was the result of the "demonized" Croatian politics. King Alexander of Yugoslavia was

murdered, together with the French PM by the Croat Ustasha.

 

The WWII period was not like described by Mr. Kuhner, because, again because a great part of my family lived in Zagre, Osjiek and Sisak in Croatia.

Not to be murdered by the Croats and in order to avoid to finish their lives in the Jasenovac concentration camp, my grandmother, and her two sisters

were obliged to convert themselves to Catholicism, while their brother the Serbian orthodox priest, Jovan Magarasevic, wa send to Jasenovac camp,

where he was murdered and then thrown into a pit in the place named Jadovno. The Croat communist dictator J.B. Tito ordered after the war that that pit

was to be covered with concrete in order not to be known to the larger public opinion.

 

As far as in the first paragraph when speaking about Josip Boljkovac who was arrested for the "mass murder" of "anti-communists" after the WWII,

Mr. Kuhner does not say who were those "anti-communists". They were all Ustasha Nazi soldiers who were fighting for Hitler all around the Europe,

and who tried to escape the justice. Mr. Kuhner does not say that the same Josip Boljkovac was the Croat interior  minister  in 1990, who fought "Chetniks".

Chetnik is a Croat name given to Serbs before the WWII. But, knowing that the very same "Chetniks" fought Nazis and Communists, it is quite strange to read

that Milan Nedic was anti-Jew, or communist murdering Nazi Ustasha Croats. Besides, it is quite strange to say that Italinan fascist Mussolini helped "Chetniks"

 in the same time  Winston Churchill did it or US government.  

And at the end, "creating of Great Serbia", knowing facts are that Croats exterminated some 750 000 of Serbs, Jews and Roma in the biggest Nazi concentration camp

in the Balkans during WWII, that they  expelled in 1995 some 350 000 and ethnically cleansed regions where Serbs lived, and robbed their properties in those regions.

Propaganda is not in any case the history., and Mr. Kuhner is trying to remake the history in his own way. Is he paid for doing that ?

Evo zašto su radnici Zračne luke Zagreb ustali za svoja prava: većina mora dirinčiti za samo 7466 kuna plaće, regres doseže jedva 2400, a božićnica još pišljivih 2400 kuna, za rođenje djeteta dobiju jadnih 3500 kuna, otpremnina je sirotinjskih 6400 kuna po godini staža, a neradnici dobivaju otkaz s počekom od samo tri godine! Pa dokle tako? To se više ne može izdržati! Ili će ih pošteno platiti ili neka zaborave koncesionara!

Zadnji avion upravo je poletio. Odlijepio se s piste zagrebačkog Plesa, ostavivši za sobom najveće hrvatske mučenike. Zračno osoblje Zračne luke Zagreb. Oni su već onemoćali od bespoštedne borbe za ljudska i radnička prava koja je njih same toga petka podsjećala na strahote mučenika što smo ih tih dana obilježavali.

No dobro, glasnogovornik koordinacije sindikata zračnog prometa Ante Dujić ipak je, zaorivši u golemi mikrofon, priznao da su Vukovarci patili nešto više od zračnog osoblja.

Pa je radnike štrajkaše zamolio za minutu šutnje.

Jer i Vukovarci su se, kaže on, baš kao i radnici aerodroma, borili da se njihovo ne rastrga, ne polomi i ne rasproda na kile.

Radnici Plesa su se na kraju izborili za svoje.

Kako i ne bi kad su oni pioniri u ostvarivanju prava, kolektivno - ugovarački borci, tvoritelji prvog nezavisnog sindikata u Hrvata od kojeg bi i Skandinavci mogli učiti.

I to vrlo uspješni, slobodno možemo dodati, jer prošlo je samo tri dana otkako je štrajk za Plesu obustavljen, a “zlostavljani” radnici već su pronašli zajednički jezik s Upravom Zračne luke i potpisali novi kolektivni ugovor, s većinom prijedloga koje su u njemu i predložili.

E, to se naziva “dobro obavljen posao”, a novi ugovor ispravak onog “sramotnog” dokumenta s kojim su radnici Plesa godinama morali živjeti.

Malo tko bi preživio takvu nepravdu.

Malo tko bi s takvom pažnjom i odgovornošću pristupao složenim poslovima kao što su to proteklih pet desetljeća činili vjerni radnici Zračne luke Zagreb.

A sada im je prekipjelo.

Može li običan čovjek živjeti s regresom od 2400 kuna?

Može li naknada za rođenje djeteta iznositi jedva 3500 kuna?

I može li niže kvalificirani radnik preživljavati od plaće u iznosu od pukih 5900 kuna neto?

Od ovog ponedjeljka više ne može i ne mora.
