Vucic laid wreaths: 'This rocketing of Croatian planes is the most terrible cold-blooded crime'

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and informal Serbian leader in Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik laid wreaths at the site of the massacre of a Serb column during the 1995 Operation Storm, which they described as the most brutal cold-blooded crime against civilians by Croatian aircraft that went unpunished. The ceremony took place near Bosanski Petrovac, commemorating the deaths of ten civilians, including four children, who were killed when their convoy was attacked on August 7, 1995. Vučić emphasized the need to remember the victims and announced funding for a memorial monument and chapel. Dodik called the attack a covert crime reflecting hatred toward Serbs. In 2022, Serbia filed charges against four retired Croatian Air Force officers for the attack, but Croatia rejected the indictment, calling it legally unfounded and unacceptable due to Serbia’s universal jurisdiction claim over wartime events. Vučić is visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina for two days and will attend a central commemoration in Mrkonjić Grad on Monday.
