"The concept of Yugo-nostalgia has worn out and worn out so much that it no longer has any meaning for me. I'm not nostalgic for my own youth either, in fact, it seems to me that I'm calmer and happier now than in my youth, so how could I be for a country that everyone gave up so easily that it seems as if it didn't exist, but we only dreamed of it. Disappointment? It depends on what one expects. In expecting people to show courage, you have no choice but to be disappointed. Maybe this courage should not be expected, maybe nothing should be expected. Intensive rehabilitation of the Ustasha (Croatian, fascist and ultranationalist organization active, as one organization, between 1929 and 1945) has been on the scene since 1991. None of the politicians seriously distanced themselves from such a policy, no one had the courage to do so, neither the right nor those who would consider themselves left-wing. Over the years, the position has been cemented that true Croatian patriotism not only tolerates the Ustasha, but that the Ustasha is actually a constituent part of it. This is a slap in the face to all Croatian anti-fascists, such as my dad, for example."
