Why? I am a Serb. Not really, actually. I was born in Croatia, as my passport indicates. But, as a result of my Serbian ethnicity, my entire family had to flee for their lives when the Croatian army descended upon our homes during the Balkan War. Sadly, ours is not the only story like that.

A recent controversy in Vukovar, where the ultra nationalist political party in Croatia barred the country's president and prime minister of access to a memorial service for the victims of the Vukovar Massacre during the Balkan Wars shows that tensions still linger. The cause of the protest? Bilingual street signs. Yes, Croatian street signs with 'intolerable' Serbian translations, despite the village being more than 30% Serbian.

Last night, Croatian supporters at Maksimir Stadium showed their support for that same protest in Vukovar. They unfurled a banner with a Catholic cross as well as the state and national flags, a 'Never Forget' type tribute to the 264 people who died in 1991.
