"August 4 marks the 30th anniversary of Operation Storm. Little known outside the former Yugoslavia, the military campaign unleashed a genocidal cataclysm that violently expelled Croatia’s entire Serb population. Dubbed “the most efficient ethnic cleansing we’ve seen in the Balkans” by Swedish politician Carl Bildt, Croat forces rampaged UN-protected areas of the self-declared Serb Republic of Krajina, looting, burning, raping and murdering their way across the province. Up to 350,000 locals fled, many on foot, never to return. Meanwhile, thousands were summarily executed."

I dont want to put my nose into this. Im a Croat and my father and uncle were both part of the war. Thank God they came home alive. Unfortunately in this world we live in Wars are orchestrated by few Evil ones who gather the kind ones to do their battles for them. Those with Patriotic hearts. For me... My dad and my uncle are hero's but for the other side they may not be seen as such. Unfortunately wars have no rules. 😢 in wars nothing is ever fair. My heart goes to all those who lost their loved ones in any kind of a war. 💕✨️🖖

I take no sides in this. I try to find the stories explaining things that happened and were reported at the time in one way or another and sometimes documents which are released decades later put certain things in certain perspectives.

I grew up in Switzerland and we had many migrants from Yugoslavia. I played football with them. They were my teammates. Ethnicity was no topic, a bit mocking here and there between all of us. Then the war broke out and it arrived in our team. We outsiders had no idea what was going on, but the sudden hate was unbelievable and each side tried to convince us that they were right. Many of them left the team and the rest of us speechless. It was all so sad.

It is sad. When a few wicked ones turn us against each other. We all lived perfectly united before. It was the demons that lead it... I was never harbouring any kind of hate forward Serbs. Our friends were and still some are Serbs. I love them all the same as far as they are kind hearted people I cant ask for anything more than that.

That's the spirit. True friendship goes beyond ethnicity, religion, color and whatever the wicked ones use to divide us.

Amen! Amen! I wish we are all like that. 💕🫶 hatered and jealousy is moderns age plague!

It's up to us to spread the good and only hate hatred.
