ZAGREB, July 31, 2018 - The Youth for Human Rights initiative on Tuesday called on President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković to apologise for the crimes committed during and after the Storm military operation, assessing that politicians' stance on victims was deteriorating by the year.

The Delegation of Dubrovnik-Neretva County, led by Prefect Nikola Dobroslavić, participated in the celebration of Victory Day and Homeland Thanksgiving and the Day of Croatian Defenders in Knin.

The main festivities are traditionally held in Knin.

On 4 August 1995, Croatia launched a military operation which liberated occupied parts of its territory.

For many onlookers to the Croatian Homeland War, there was a simple story arc: the clumsy arrogant west came into the Yugoslavian conflict and armed one side and punished another, siding with Croatia to expel 200,000 Serbian civilians from their homes in Krajina. As with everything, particularly in war, there is much more to it than meets the eye.

There are many changes this year.
