Bob Dylan has been sued by a Croatian group in France after he compared Croatians to Nazis and Civil War-era slave owners, it has been revealed.
The 'Blowin' In The Wind' hitmaker had said in an interview to Rolling Stone Magazine that if one has got slave master or Klan in their blood, then blacks can sense that, the New York Post reported.
He had said that the stuff still lingers to this day, just like Jews can sense Nazi blood and the Serbs can sense Croatian blood.
According to Slate.fr website, the Council of Croats in France has sued Dylan and the French edition of Rolling Stone, and the singer and the publication both could face fines and formal sanctions if a court rules them guilty.
Serbians and Croatians have been at loggerheads since Serbia allegedly committed genocide on Croatian citizens in the '90s when Yugoslavia broke up.
