During the night of 9-10 August, unknown persons vandalised the walls of the Serbian cemetery in Vikhovitchi, Mostar, and wrote on them Ustasha symbols and threats in Croatian against Serbs.

 

Among the threatening inscriptions, 'a Serbian family of thirteen, the mass grave is already dug, I throw a grenade and the survivor I kill with pitchforks', 'we Croats do not drink wine, only the blood of Chetniks [Serbian nationalist and royalist fighters] from Knin', Butchers of Max", which was the name of the armed gang around the Ustasha criminal Vekoslav Luburic, commander of the Jasenovac extermination camp, where Serbs, Jews and Gypsies were killed by the thousands during the Second World War.

 

Earlier this year, nearly 700 plaques were destroyed in the Serbian partisan cemetery in Mostar. Serbs living in the city fear for their safety.
