According to these data, 32.5 percent would be against this initiative, and 25.8 percent of citizens did not have an opinion on this topic.

The survey was conducted from May 16 to 23. On May 17, a group of representatives of the authorities submitted a proposal for a resolution on the genocide in Jasenovac to the parliamentary procedure.
