srpska-mreza is, no doubt, a Serb site...still and all, this quote
plucked from the page I linked above, is from a British paper:
(Makes me wonder, what are them Croats doin' these days?)

THE SPECTATOR,
March 19 1994, pages 16, 17, 18
Excerpts from an article by Kenneth Roberts

"UNRECONSTRUCTED NAZISM ON DISPLAY -
The Germans warmly support the Croats. Kenneth Roberts says this
reuniting of Second World War allies is distasteful"

(Quotes:)

    The Croatian government has revived many of the paraphenalia of
the Nazi puppet regime headed by Ante Pavelic in the early 1940s.
STREETS AND SQUARES HAVE BEEN RENAMED AFTER USTASHA HEROES...

    ...Plans are well under way to REINSTATE the kuna, THE CURRENCY OF
THE FASCIST STATE. THE CROATIAN FLAG ONCE AGAIN SPORTS SAHOVNICA, THE
RED AND WHITE CHEQUERED SHIELD (!!!) WHICH SYMBOLIZED PAVELIC'S STATE
- symbol which some... equate with a reunited Germany flying the
swastika...

    ...the government suggests reburying Ustasha dead in the same plot
as the Jewish victims of Croat-run concentration camps...

    ...The country lives under a heavy police influence, overt and secret...

    ...Editors who display independence of thought find themselves
periodically summnoned to police offices for "guidance"...

    ...It is less easy to explain that lack of international reaction
to the RESURGENT FASCISM *SO EVIDENT* in the building of the new
nation. British suggestions of economic sanctions on account of
Croatia's military involvement in Bosnia have been repeatedly blocked
by Germany... Germany is siding with Croatia... former partners in
tourism and GENOCIDE. On the American side, THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS
THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE. SWASTIKAS, BLACK UNIFORMS, *RAPE AND PILLAGE*
fade into insignificanse beside the demonic image the State Department
has built for the Serbs.
