"Operation Storm not occasion for celebration"

May the Croatian flag fly over our beautiful city of Knin for the next 1000 years.

LOL you're not Croatian. You've never even been to Croatia. No one in Croatia thinks or ever thought Knin is "beautiful". You're just some ignorant redneck prepube living in some backwater part of the US.

The Serbs forfeited any rights they had when they decided to committ treason by trying to create a a TZV Krajina in the Republic of Croatia. All these individuals who are still stuck in refugee camps in Serbia are now crying that there beloved Beograd hasn't helped them or their veterans one bit. Oluja will be celebrated bigger and better in our beloved Knin with Thompson also performing a large concert in his hometown as part of the celebration. The Serbs need to realise that your hope of return is zero and that your home is Serbia and not Croatia. If anything the Serbs should be focusing the blame on their former leaders who promised them a Greater Serbia, which ended with the Serbs losing more territory than the began with. To cut a long story short Oluja was given the green light by the world as a legitimate action. May the Croatian flag fly over our beautiful city of Knin for the next 1000 years.

The Croatians and Albanians have an incredible complex toward Serbians I have yet to observe in any other historical study between nations. The hate and murderous pleas coming from them doesn't sound like something winners would say. Croatians and Albanians essentially "won" their wars yet still harbor feelings of losers. Absolutely incredible makes, you think how firm they actually stand on their beliefs or whether they believe it themselves.

For a minute, I thought the quoted headline was from some Croatian MP, like Zoran Milanovic, who would have been subsequently booed by every Croatian "patriot" in Hercegovina and Australia. But it's from a Serb, whose statement will probably be reported in the Croatian press as a reason to redouble efforts to make this year's celebration even more gaudy and over the top than last year's fascist-fest. To be honest, I really don't know why some people still expect Croatia to be silent. Aside from shouting Nazi-era slogans at football games, these three days are the three days elements of the Domovina engage in the most bizarre fits of patriotic fervor over an interpretation of an event that took place well enough in the past for actual memories to fade and for kitschy "thanksgiving" celebrations to commence courtesy of the country's beleaguered right wing movements. Yes it's insulting to the victims, yes it glorifies ethnic cleansing, and yes it's the best example of state sponsored historical revisionism in the Balkans, but it's the one time of the year all loyal subjects of Lijepa Nasa can put aside their socio-economic grievances and join hands together in meaningless feel-good patriotism while giving Thompson a brief moment to make some money and sell some CDs to visiting children of Croatian gastarbejteri. Next week they can go back to lamenting the country's economic decline and brain drain. For now, let's talk about how awesome Ante Gotovina is.

@ bam bam (aka) rocky I don't no what your celebrating your albanian. ...

Largest act of ethnic cleansing since WWII and no wonder either considering its Croatia upholding fascist traditions. It should be remembered by Serbia every year just like other act of Croatian terror over the last century.

Fighting for land is just not worth the lives on both sides, but Serbia should take a harder line over celebration of terrorism over there in the Nazi republic. There are way more Croatian companies in Serbia than Serbian ones over there.

Not like the Serbian govt will ever do anything, apart of the EUphoric pipe dream is to come to terms with the war crimes committed against Serbs. So Croatia gets off scotch free just like they did after WWII with the arrival of Yugoslav communism.

Oluja was the result of 4 years of Serbian terror.

It looks that August and June are not good months for serbian modern history.
August Operation Storm and June when NATO troops enter Prishtina.
And yes grobar1,albanians celebrate June 11th!
Congratulation to all who made imposible Velika Serbia Dream !

Hey Mirel, let's see if you're really from Albania or just messing with us.

If your IQ is in the range of the size of your donkey's emergency brake handle, then you might could be from Albania.

If my girlfriend is walking down the street and you say to her, nice kidneys baby, then you might could be from Albania.

If your donkeys and horses have better looking teeth than you, then you might could be from Albania, or England.

If when other countries' forces win your battles and you take all the credit without shame, then you might could be from Albania, or Croatia, or San Francisco.

Otherwise, you have to produce witnesses or your honeymoon bedsheet with DNA proof. http://www.turningpointedonkeyrescue.com/donkeydentistry.htm

"Operation Storm not occasion for celebration"

And I thought Serbians like to celebrate loses.
Then why they do celebrate even after 500 years,the batle of Kosova where balkans coalition losed the batle?

"Operation Storm not occasion for celebration"

100 %agreed, just like the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo should not be an occasion for celebration - unfortunately, for people like the Serbian president it was. Just like operation Storm is celebrated by Croatian extremists.

That's because neither won the war alone. They needed help from outside powers, selling their souls in the process. It's no wonder they have such large complexes in their collective psyches. Interestingly, by loathing Serbia so strongly, the do nothing but empower Serbia more. Of course, manifest hatred is a symptom of latent love :-)

Bam Bam, you don't know whether you're Arthur or Martha do you?

The ire of Serbs should be directed at those who thought it was a good idea to try to force the Croats to remain part of a Federation that no longer looked after its needs. Having said that, some of the comments on this site and in the Croatian media are sickening. The killing of innocent civilians and the forcible expulsion of people from their homes, wherever and whenever this occurs, is plainly not acceptable in a civilised society. This applies equally in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Gaza, South Sudan, Ukraine, South Ossetia i tako dalje as you would say in the Balkans.

Hey John you mean terror like Jasenovac. If you have nothing useful to contribute, and you obviously haven't, please do us the courtesy of being quiet.

Why shouldn't Croats celebrate Storm? For 4 years 1/3rd of the country was occupied, towns bombed, peopled killed and forced out of their homes. The country was held hostage by a bunch of peasants with leadership and materiel sent courtesy of a foreign nation. Any other nation would've rightly celebrated as well.
Allies celebrate V day despite committing FAR worse things than Croatia did during Storm(carpet bombing of German cities and 2 A bombs dropped on fully populated cities is just the tip...Ethnic cleansing? Sudetan Germans...). And then they want to count the accuracy of artillery shells fired under Gotovina's command? Comedy.

The Krajina leadership at the behest of Slobodan Milosevic ordered the resettlement of Serbs from Croatia to Bosnia and Kosovo. The war in Bosnia was demanding that Serbia abandon support for the Krajina Serbs.

I am not saying that they shouldn't have a right to return, or that isolated crimes did not occur (war is what it is and there were 4 straight years of Krajina crimes against Croats until Storm). They should return and I feel the Croatian government needs to do more to facilitate it, but Operation Storm was not what people in Serbia are being indoctrinated to believe it was. Croatian officials were on the radio everyday asking Serbs to stay and help build an independent Croatia.

The Serbs forfeited any rights they had when they decided to committ treason by trying to create a a TZV Krajina in the Republic of Croatia.
