Miodrag Linta, president of the Alliance of Serbs from the Region, has addressed both historical and contemporary issues regarding the Serbian population in the region.

Linta first commemorated the 85th anniversary of the Krajina uprising, describing it as a movement for survival against the “genocidal policies of the Ustaše regime.” He specifically highlighted the 1941 mass killings in Garavice near Bihać, noting that more than 12,000 Serbs, along with thousands of Jews and Roma, were murdered during that period.

More recently, Linta condemned physical attacks on Serbian citizens in Dubrovnik and on the island of Pag, Croatia. He reported that groups of young Croats assaulted individuals and destroyed vehicles with Serbian license plates. Linta characterized these incidents as a “recurring pattern of violence and hate speech” and criticized Croatian authorities for failing to protect Serbian residents, workers, and tourists or to prosecute those responsible.
