#Croatia|n 🇭🇷 president Zoran Milanovic @Ured_PRH returns war decorations to notorious war criminal and terrorist Branimir Glavas. With this, he invalidated former President Ivo Josipovic's decision on the stripping of #Glavas war medals. ⤵️

In late November 2019, Glavas, who was still standing trial for war crimes, supported with his signature Milanovic’s presidential candidacy in #Osijek. ⤵️

Later that day, Milanovic, who was the Social Democratic Party #SDP candidate for the #Croatia|n 🇭🇷 president, said that he distanced himself from the support expressed for his presidential bid by Branimir Glavas since he is not his "company". ⤵️

After 16 years of being prosecuted for the killings of #Serb civilians from #Osijek in 1991 and five separate court verdicts, Croatian warlord general & notorious war criminal Branimir #Glavas is still on trial – and he’s still a free man. ⤵️

As the commander of the defense forces in the eastern Croatian city of Osijek, Glavas was found guilty of ordering the executions of seven, mostly Serb civilians in 1991. The court established that he founded, armed, and commanded a special military unit in Osijek. ⤵️

Glavas was also one of the founders of the Croatian political party of #HDZ the party whose president was another war criminal Franjo Tudjman who together with Vladimir Šeks supported Glavas's crimes in #Osijek during the war. ⤵️

Glavas is not hiding his neo-fascist ideology since his father Ljubomir Glavas was a notorious member of the Ustasha movement & one of the first #Nazi volunteers of "Devil's Division during the #WW2 period of a puppet state (NDH) or Independent State of #Croatia 🇭🇷 #WW2 ⤵️

His uncle Ante Glavaš was a member of the SS Division "Prinz Eugen", who was killed at the beginning of the second phase of Operation "White", between Bosanski Petrovac and Drvar, on 26 February 1943. ⤵️

This post is a tribute to the truth and memory of all Serb civilians and victims killed by the order and hand of notorious #Croatia|n 🇭🇷 war criminal Branimir Glavas.
