Support for Soviet invasion floats in Croatian group
A Melbourne based Croatian resistance faction in Australia backs a Soviet invasion of Yugoslavia in exchange for an independent Croatia. Spokesman Mr Srzeco Rover promoted the idea in Canberra amid Belgrade conference plans and EU disarmament talks. Rover cited Croatia’s independence and criticized Yugoslavia as a dictatorship, while notes pointed to links with Croatian socialist groups in Germany and possible fifth column activity. The Canberra Croatian National Council said Rover’s views represent only a left wing fringe and that the council opposes Yugoslavia and labels some links as a KGB front.
