Agghh! I just wrote three paragraphs about the reasons for Croatian nationalists in the 90s embracing the symbols of the Ustashi – many of which had preceded the Pavelic regime. Unfortunately when I hit “Post” it turned out my sign in had lapsed and I lost it all!

Let’s just say to Croats anything that was seen as defiant towards the Serbs and the communist regime they’d suffered under for so long was favourably looked upon. I very much doubt if many were neo-Nazis, though the Serbs of Krajina can be forgiven for disagreeing. I believe the Serbs were the main victims of the Yugoslav wars yet just saying that can get one accused of supporting ethnic cleansing and racism. It’s easy to attach labels to others and then dismiss all they have to say. I disagreed with Geyer on Yugoslavia but I wouldn’t call her a Nazi for being pro-Croatian.
