Serbian leader won't apologize for his nationalist past
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Serbia's president has refused to apologize for his nationalist wartime rhetoric calling for a "Greater Serbia" that would include large parts of Croatia, saying he won't be humiliated.
President Aleksandar Vucic said Tuesday — when grilled by reporters about a 1995 speech he made — that Serbs and Croats have widely different views of the war they fought in the 1990s during the bloody breakup of former Yugoslavia.
Vucic was a fervent Serbian nationalist during the war, but now says he is a pro-EU reformer. His two-day visit to Croatia this week is seen as an attempt to mend ties between the two Balkan rivals.
