Zagreb - Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković on Thursday offered his best wishes to Croatian citizens in a message issued on the occasion of Antifascist Struggle Day, which commemorates June 22, 1941, when one of the first antifascist units in Europe - the 1st Sisak Partisan Unit - was formed, noting that the victory over fascism in World War II, to which the antifascist movement in Croatia had contributed, had determined the future of present-day Europe.
"Croatia's lasting commitment to promoting the values of anti-fascism is confirmed in the historical foundations of the Constitution as well as in the Croatian Parliament's Declaration on Antifascism," Jandroković says in his message.
Croatia shares the values of modern Europe and rejects any form of extremism and totalitarianism, said Jandroković.
"Today's independent Republic of Croatia, whose foundation is the Homeland War, is oriented to the future and shares the values of modern Europe - peace, freedom, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, mutual respect and respect for diversity, as well as rejection of any form of extremism or totalitarianism," said Jandroković.
