Statue of Tudjman placed on Knin Fortress
A Croatian Air Force helicopter has already transported the statue of Franjo Tudjman to the Knin Fortress, that will be officially unveiled on the day of the celebrations.Artist Miro Vuco who created the statue said that "somebody told him this kind of placing it on the fortress is a historical act, and he (Tudjman) declared here - we have Croatia!"
"He said it victoriously and with great respect for the new times," said Vuco.
The words that the first Croatian president said 20 years ago are inscribed in the monument and those who were on the fortress on that day did not wish to miss this day.
"I am proud that Tudjman has returned home like King Zvonimir whose monument is placed on the square. That is the greatest symbolism of the Croatian people," said retired officer Ante Nadomir Tadic Sutra.
The statue was paid for by the city of Knin and cost 900,000 Croatian kunas, while "citizens' opinions are divided."
The mayor planned to keep the statue from the public eye until August 5, but the news spread on the internet.
Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic will officially unveil it during Operation Storm celebrations.
