'Rafael Boban' battalion #racist live.balkaninsight.com
The 'Rafael Boban' battalion of the Croatian Defence Forces - a 1990s paramilitary unit later integrated into the Croatian army - has again celebrated the anniversary of its foundation by chanting the WWII fascist Ustasa slogan 'Za dom spremni' ('Ready for the Home(land)') in the coastal city of Split.
Besides unit members and their families, representatives of the Split local authority, the Split-Dalmatia County and the War Veterans' Ministry attended the ceremony in front of the unit's memorial in Split.
"I want to greet the dead, the Croatian people and the Independent State of Croatia with the old Croatian greeting: Za dom spremni," the unit's commander Marko Skejo shouted at the end of the ceremony.
