Croatian President Zoran Milanović has announced plans to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Operation ‘Storm’ with a grand ceremonial military parade on Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day.
Highlighting the operation’s significance in liberating Croatian territory and securing national independ
Is this the first time a parade is organised on 5 August? Initiating a military parade sounds like a thing from the past, but so did nazi salutes…
No, this will be the second time. The last parade was in 2015 to commemorate 20th anniversary of Operation Storm.
This sounds quite reasonable actually. Do you think it has also foreign policy goals, maybe as deterrence to ambitions of Great Serbia?
One of the goals, for sure, is showing that Croatia is better than Serbia.
