Serbia compares Croatia to ‘Nazi regime’ in deepening migrant rowSeptember 25, 2015 - 09:48 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Serbia has compared Croatian border restrictions to racial laws enforced by a Nazi puppet state during World War Two, in a deepening row over migrants, according to BBC News. Croatian border police are stopping all Serbian vehicles from entering the country in protest at Serbia's decision to transport migrants to the border. But Croatia's interior minister said the ban did not apply to Serbian people. The Serbian authorities have responded by banning cargo traffic from Croatia. Amid escalating tension, Serbia's foreign ministry said the measures were "discriminatory" and "can only be compared with measures taken in the past, during the fascist Independent Croatia", referring to the Nazi puppet state proclaimed in Croatia in 1941, which sided with Berlin. Croatia's Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic, speaking in Brussels where EU leaders have been discussing a response to the migrant crisis, said Serbia's behaviour was "not normal".
