The anniversary of Croatia’s 1995 ‘Storm’ military operation was commemorated in Republika Srpska with events honoring Serbs who were exiled or killed. The central commemoration took place in Mrkonjić Grad, jointly organized by Republika Srpska and Serbia. During the events, officials remembered the Serb victims of the operation. Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik stated his commitment to preventing a similar event from happening again. The ‘Storm’ operation led to a large exodus of Serbs from Croatia, and remains a sensitive topic in the region. The commemorations underscore ongoing tensions and differing narratives surrounding the war. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the deep wounds left by the conflict.
