Description
Summary:In Vojvodina, resentment has begun to affect everyday life and is threatening to acquire mild features of Belfast. The first wave of incidents against the minorities began towards the end of last year and in the beginning of this year. During last spring, graveyards, monuments, churches and tokens of the minorities’ identity were being desecrated and destroyed. Physical incidents followed, as well as confusing situations blurring the full scope of the situation. The description of these events has been enriched by a new term atrocities. However, we have to face the fact that this topic is also weighing upon the civilian sector. The NGO Zenith has grappled with the problem of interethnic school fights, but one swallow does not mean spring.
