VIDEO Everyone arrives in Knin: The final preparations are underway for the celebration of the Storm

The city of Knin is preparing for the 31st anniversary commemoration of the military operation 'Storm,' which took place in August 1995 and led to the liberation of much of occupied Croatian territory during the Yugoslav Wars. Final preparations, including technical rehearsals and ceremonial drills, have been completed ahead of tomorrow's state celebration, which will include participation from Croatia's leadership, military personnel, police, and citizens from across the country. The event will take place at Knin Fortress and along the city's streets. Due to high temperatures expected, some residents plan to watch the ceremony via television rather than attend in person. Despite the heat warning, organizers anticipate a large turnout.

Knin is preparing for a celebration of the storm, and some residents are still waiting for the water

Knin prepares for a state celebration commemorating the Storm operation, but daily life in the city continues at a different pace. Some residents consider leaving, while others return, and entrepreneurs invest in their hometown. However, parts of the population still rely on water delivered by tankers due to lack of access to the municipal water supply. In areas outside the city center, some neighborhoods have no connection to the water grid, forcing residents to depend on water transported by fire departments. Local authorities explain that these peripheral settlements are sparsely populated and distant from the main water network, making such infrastructure projects financially unfeasible.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both perspectives, residents considering leaving and those returning, and highlights challenges like infrastructure deficiencies without overtly favoring any side. The framing remains neutral, focusing on personal stories and local governance explanations rather than ideological立场
