Political activities of Milorad Pupovac in Croatia

Overview

Milorad Pupovac, president of the Independent Democratic Serbian Party (SDSS), has been involved in several political developments in Croatia.

Following arson incidents in the Zadar, Benkovac, and Biograd regions, Pupovac condemned the fires and warned against using the events to “fuel religious and national hatred” or incite violence against the Serbian community. He noted that four suspects were detained and highlighted the cooperation between Serbian and Croatian volunteer fire departments.

Later, a political dispute arose between Pupovac and Stipo Mlinarić of the Homeland Movement regarding the location of missing persons from the Homeland War. Mlinarić accused Pupovac of failing to provide sufficient information to locate missing veterans and civilians. Pupovac responded by stating his legal team is reviewing potential action against Mlinarić, characterizing the accusations as claims of “covering up war crimes.” The Homeland Movement has rejected this response, questioning Pupovac’s effectiveness as a mediator regarding the opening of Serbian archives.

The dispute has escalated, with Pupovac accusing Mlinarić of conducting a “long-term political campaign against the Serbian minority.” Conversely, the Homeland Movement has rejected Pupovac’s characterization of the issue as a campaign against Serbs, instead demanding concrete results regarding his efforts to have Serbian archives opened to assist in finding the missing.
