Pakrac: Demonstration with Ustaša symbols held at Veljko Džakula's home

A group of individuals carrying Ustaša flags and playing music by Thompson performed a demonstration outside the home of Veljko Džakula, former president of the Serbian Democratic Forum, in Pakrac.

During the event, participants used megaphones to call Džakula outside and directed messages against him, the Serbian community, and the Serbian Orthodox Church, including calls for the eradication of the Svetosav Church. Mile Bosnić, president of the Krajina Serb Movement, criticized the incident, stating that the presence of police during the demonstration of prohibited symbols and anti-Serb rhetoric reflects poorly on Croatian values. Bosnić expressed concern that such actions instill fear among the Serbian population and questioned why those involved were not being arrested for using banned symbols.

Džakula briefly appeared during the demonstration and issued accusations against the participants regarding their treatment of Serbs and the church.
