Serbian war criminal’s Canadian citizenship legal challenge fails

Allegations against Serbian war criminal Goran Pavic have been upheld by the federal government, which claims he fraudulently obtained Canadian citizenship by making false statements on his immigration application. Immigration Minister Lena Diab and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree assert that Pavic, involved in crimes against humanity during the 1991 conflict in Croatia, is inadmissible to Canada. The government argues that he participated in imprisonment and forced transfers, while Pavic contends he was conscripted and lacked knowledge of any crimes.
