Serbia and Republika Srpska commemorate the Day of Remembrance for all victims of the "Storm" operation

The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik will also attend the commemoration of Remembrance Day, and the Serbian Patriarch Porfirije will serve the memorial service for the victims, it was announced earlier by the Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veterans and Social Affairs.

The commemoration of the Day of Remembrance for all victims and exiles in the armed operation "Storm" will begin at 7:50 p.m. on Branko Radičević Square in Sremski Karlovci, and the Day of Remembrance will be marked under the name "The Storm is a Pogrom - We Remember Forever".

Vučić invited the citizens to come to Sremski Karlovci tonight, where 30 years will be marked since the criminal operation "Storm" and pointed out that we are not a nation if we do not show respect for our victims.

The Croatian attack on the then Republic of Serbian Krajina and the expulsion of the entire Serbian population from the area inhabited by Serbs for centuries began at dawn on August 4, 1995 and lasted until August 7.

According to the data of the Documentation Information Center "Veritas", more than 220,000 Serbs were expelled from the territory of the Republic of Srpska Krajina in "Storm", and more than 1,900 of them were killed, during which numerous crimes were committed.

It was the largest exodus of civilians in Europe after World War II.

Among the dead, that is, killed, 65 percent were civilians, almost three quarters of whom were over 60 years old, and 29 percent of those killed were women, mostly old women.

Since 2015, Serbia and Republika Srpska have been jointly celebrating the Day of Remembrance for all victims and exiles in the Croatian armed operation "Storm", while Croatia celebrates this tragic event for the Serbian people as a day of victory and homeland gratitude.
