In January, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic announced their plans to move forward with the sale of about 30 Israeli F-16s to Croatia. The participation of three Israeli F-16 Barak jets is taking place against a backdrop of Israeli-Croatian arms deals worth half a billion dollars. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told a gathering late Saturday that “Hitler wanted a world without Jews Croatia and its policy wanted a Croatia without Serbs.” While Croatia hailed the offensive as a flawless military victory that reunited the country’s territory and ended the war, Serbia mourned the victims of the attack.
The exact number of the dead and displaced is a matter of dispute. This is not the time or the place where another country should be involved.” More than 250,000 people fled Croatia, mostly civilians. “For the Croatian side, maybe these are days of triumph, but for the Serbian side these are days of mourning,” Stanojevic added. However, Croatian media reported Sunday that US officials also attended this year’s celebration of Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day and Veterans Day at Knin.
Israel is the first foreign country to actively participate in Croatia’s annual parade to celebrate Operation Storm, the ambassador said.
