August 2, two cars belonging to Serbs were also damaged in the<br />
village of Perjasica in the Kordun region (central Croatia). An unknown<br />
perpetrator stole the rear registration plate from the car<br />
belonging to R.S. from Koransko selo in the Barilović municipality,<br />
who has lived in Germany for a number of years, and damaged<br />
the varnish on the hood by engraving the letter “U” with a cross<br />
in the middle. A similar fate befell A.O. from Perjasica, whose car<br />
had Sombor plates (a town in Serbia). The perpetraros engraved<br />
the letter “U” on the hood and the acronym “NDH”. 32 On Sunday,<br />
August 30, at around five in the morning a group of young men<br />
attacked a van with Serbian plates with rocks in the Kolovare<br />
district of Zadar. Croatian police informed Z.K. from Pančevo<br />
(Serbia) in March that his late father’s house at Dobropoljci near<br />
Benkovac had been broken into and the perpetrators had destroeyd<br />
everything in the house. At the end of the year the property<br />
of R.P., a Serb who spends most of the year working abroad, was<br />
destroyed in Murvica near Zadar. Unknown perpetrators drew a<br />
Nazi swastika on his house with the message “We are hajduks<br />
(brigands), we are the Ustasha“ next to it. They also drew the<br />
figure of a hanged man with the word “Chetnik“ next to it, thus<br />
destroying the freshly repainted facade.<br />
