Ethnic Hatred Lingers in Croatia: God May Forgive, We Don't.

SPIEGEL ONLINE:

Not far inland from Croatia's tourism hotspots on the Adriatic coast, ethnic tensions run deep between Croats and the Serb minority now gradually returning 12 years after the end of the civil war.

The nights scare Sofia Skoric most. The 71-year-old Serb woman sits in her sparsely furnished sitting room, her wrinkled skin bronzed by decades of sunshine. It's getting dark outside and she no longer feels safe. It's night again, and she and her husband Svetozar feel they may again fall victim to the rage of their neighbors.
