Social Democratic Party (SDP) leader Davor Bernardic on Sunday extended Christmas greetings to Orthodox believers in Croatia but criticised those in power for "having their pictures taken" while Serbs in remote parts of the country live without electricity, alone, hungry and poor, which is "unacceptable" in the 21st century.

Speaking to reporters at the Serb National Council’s reception for Orthodox Christmas, Bernardic said some political parties and individuals were trying to divide people on ethnic grounds.

“That’s unacceptable in the 21st century. The SDP has always been a party that was crushing prejudices in our society and barriers between people, whether they are Croats or Serbs, men or women, gay or straight, Muslim, Catholic or Orthodox,” he said.
