The U.S. Embassy strongly condemned the attendance of Croat Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) leader Dragan Covic at the promotion of the book of convicted war criminal Valentin Coric, stating that such a move is "shameful" and represents "anathema to the European values he purports to represent".
“Two days ago, Dragan Covic proudly boasted about his commitment to “building a European BiH for all.” Yesterday evening, Dragan Covic chose to publicly honor convicted war criminal Valentin Coric, one of the infamous “Herceg-Bosna Six” convicted by the ICTY for war crimes and crimes against humanity, at a book promotion event in Mostar.
Mr. Covic’s public display of support for a convicted war criminal is anathema to the European values he purports to represent and claims to support. Public support for and the glorification of convicted war criminals most certainly has no place in a “European BiH for all.”
Dragan Covic’s proud participation in an event honoring a person responsible for so many horrible crimes is shameful.
The fact that the event was held in one of the City of Mostar’s allegedly joint cultural institutions adds insult to the victims’ injury. Leaders who profess a commitment to European values should lead by example, not by honoring war criminals and reopening old wounds”, the US Embassy stated in a post on social media.
