Ethnic Serb among guests at ceremony marking anniversary of Croatian offensive
Croatia marked the 25th anniversary of a victorious military offensive against rebel Serbs with an ethnic Serb politician attending the annual ceremony for the first time, an event seen as an important step toward reconciliation.
Government officials, military leaders and former fighters in the 1991-1995 war over Croatian independence gathered in the former rebel stronghold of Knin for the observance, which had fewer participants than usual because of the coronavirus pandemic.
