Croats tear down signs put up for Serb minority

ZAGREB (Reuters) - Several hundred Croat protesters tore down signs in Serb Cyrillic script that were put up on Monday in a Croatian city devastated during the independence war with Serb-dominated Yugoslavia, state radio said.

The signs were put up in Vukovar in line with a law in the newest European Union member that makes bilingual signs mandatory in any area where more than one third of the local population belongs to an ethnic minority group.
