Zagreb Archbishop: Criminals and the criminal regime are condemned, but there is a grave silence over the five-legged

Zagrebački nadbiskup mons. Dražen Kutleša, na Europskom danu sjećanja na žrtve svih totalitarnih i autoritarnih režima, naglasio je potrebu za osudom i pravdou prema žrtvama komunističkog režima, što je prema njemu još uvijek nedostaje u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini.
