Lasic said that he was proud to have seen Sakic dressed in the WWII Ustasa uniform while in Dubrava hospital where he died.
‘Independent State of Croatia is the foundation of today’s homeland of Croatia,’ said Lasic.
Ustasa were Croatian Nazis who declared Croatia independent and went on to kill over million of Serbs, Jews and Roma in WWII. Killing was done in several concentration camps such as Jasenovac and Stara Dradiska.
Dinko Sakic was commander of both concentration camps. Sakic’s wife, Nada, was half sister of a notorious Croat murderer Maks Luburic. After WWII, Sakic fled to Argentina where he opened a textile factory.
Sakic was extradited to Croatia in 1998 where he was sentence only 20 years for his crimes.
