Zoran Milanovic (Beta/HINA/Tomislav Pavlek)
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic on Aug. 25 said that the commemoration of the Serb civilians, the war victims in the village of Grubori, was a sort of paying the debt of honor to what happened 25 years ago, adding that he had then felt moral horror.
“It is easy to speak now, 25 years later, that no one had been individually held accountable. It is known, roughly or nearly precisely, which unit was here on that day,” Milanovic said.
“There is a price and considerations that must be honored,” Milanovic said, adding that the murder of six innocent and elderly Grubori villagers had provoked horror and that it was the biggest shame.
A commemoration of the Serb civilians, murdered after Croatian Army Operation Storm, was held in Grubori. Earlier, a commemoration of the Serb victims was also held in the nearby village of Plavno. Aside from Milanovic, the commemoration was attended by the Croatian Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Croatian Veterans, Tomo Medved, Deputy Prime Minister in charge of social affairs and human and minority rights, Boris Milosevic, and the Serbian president’s envoy for the missing persons, Veran Matic.
