Remembering Oluja

This dark day in history, August 5, 1995 is when Operation Storm(Operacija Oluja) happened. This one is tragic, especially for the Serbs of Croatia since the operation that was funded by Bill Clinton, EU powers except Greece and the world ignorance made this happened as the Croatian Army(Vojska Hrvatska) with the help of the evil NATO forces storm their way through the Serb held territories in the Krajina, which would be the catalyst of the expulsion of 90% of Serbs from the whole of Croatia.

"Serbia and Serbs are ready for forgiveness and reconciliation but everything does not depend only on us," President Tomislav Nikolić has said.

Addressing the Serbs driven out of their homes during Operations Storm who now reside in the weekend settlement of Banstol, Nikolić said that "our reputation is clean and our bread ready to go where the stones thrown at us came from."

Furthermore, the president said that "forgiving never means forgetting, but throughout our history we have been known to, in the name of some interests that were everybody's except Serbs', easily renounce and almost forget our victims."

He added that "the greatness and strength of a people is not measured by the number of those killed and forever exiled, weak and unprotected" - and that those who committed crimes have "the stamp of criminals" forever imprinted on their reputation.

"Your hearths were turned by madmen into flames, and your suffering is celebrated as their victory and a day they renewed their state, left to them by (Ante) Pavelić, that was recognized only by Hitler," Nikolić said, it reference to the WW2-era Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH).

Toma said a lot and in the bridge(Sremska Rača) were Serbs crossed during the genocidal act by the evil powers, PM Aleksandar Vučić, Republika Srpska Predsednik Milorad Dodik and Patrijarh Srpski Irinej went with thousand of Srbi to commemorate the place as well.

Patrijarh Irinej: "the Serb people suffered at the hands of their brothers to whom they are tied with history."

It is worth to note that this day is one of the saddest days in Serbian history not only in political and social sense but religious as well. It is one of the things engraved on the Serbs' memories and for their future to regain what is truly theirs.
