The president of the SDSS, Milorad Pupovac, said today that during the formation of the new government and parliamentary majority, he will not allow the humiliation of the SDSS as the representative of the Serbian people in Croatia, and that he will oppose all forms of segregation, whether on ethnic or political grounds.

Commenting on the inscriptions that the HDZ and the Homeland Movement will form the ruling majority with a part of the minorities, but without the SDSS, Pupovac assessed that the removal of the representatives of this party is actually the removal of the Serbs in Croatia.
“The segregation of these deputies is the segregation of Serbs in Croatia. Sending radical messages to SDSS deputies, as would be done to, for example, deputies of the Croatian people in Serbia or Bosnia and Herzegovina, would also be an incitement to national and political hatred and intolerance.” Pupovac pointed out.
He said that in the conversation with the Prime Minister of Croatia, Andrej Plenković, he did not get the impression that the Prime Minister was renouncing the minorities or the minority representatives towards the Prime Minister.
“Neither will we allow humiliation, nor political segregation, nor will we listen to the incitement of national and political hatred,” said Pupovac after honoring the victims of Ustasha crimes in the Korduna village of Veljun during the Second World War.
Answering the question of whether he will support Plenković for the mandate, considering that the representative of the Hungarian minority made a decision to do so, Pupovac said that he will announce his final position after the joint meeting.
He said that they are facing a decision that is not easy, but that they will be united around it in order to “preserve the unity of the club and realize the interests of representatives of national minorities”.
“As far as we are concerned, we – SDSS – decide who will be part of the Government and who will not,” said Pupovac.
