Austrian MPs Vote for Ban on Croats’ Bleiburg WWII Gathering

July 9, 2020

Lawmakers in the Austrian National Council, the lower house of the country’s parliament, passed a resolution on Thursday calling for a ban on the gathering in Bleiburg in Austria which commemorates tens of thousands of Croatian Nazi-allied Ustasa troops and civilians who were killed by the Yugoslav Partisans in 1945.

Olga Voglauer, a parliamentary representative of the Green Party in Austria, told BIRN that the party was particularly pleased that their “long-standing calls for a prohibition of the ultranationalist gatherings in Bleiburg/Pliberk finally bear fruits”.
