The scene from Zagreb divided the citizens: Croatian flags flooded the crossroads, spitting comments

In the Croatian neighborhood of Trnje in Zagreb, an unusual sight was recorded ahead of commemorating the 31st anniversary of the military operation 'Oluja'. Croatian border guards appeared at a location where locals were not accustomed to seeing them, sparking reactions on social media. Ten Croatian flags were placed on poles separating the sidewalk from the road, rather than being hung on buildings or public structures. The post quickly attracted numerous comments, with residents divided in their responses, some praised the initiative while others considered the placement inappropriate for displaying the national symbol. The debate escalated after a political dispute over the presence of Croatian flags on the main Zagreb square ahead of Victory Day and National Holiday celebrations. The president of the HDZ municipal organization criticized local authorities for not placing enough flags on Ban Jelačić Square, prompting members of the HDZ to place flags there. The platform 'Možemo!' rejected these claims, stating that the flags had already been displayed on the square.
