Croatia's role in Bleiburg and Bosnian war examined by scholars

Professor Ugo Vlaisavljević argues that the post‑World War II mass killings at Bleiburg and the 1995 Srebrenica genocide share a common pattern of organized violence rooted in the Yugoslav army’s continuation of wartime logic, and calls for a deeper critique of Tito‑era antifašism.

Professor Božo Skoko commemorates the 1995 Split Declaration, highlighting Croatia’s decisive military assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which enabled operations such as “Ljeto 95” and “Oluja” and underscored the need for equality among the three constituent peoples.

Both commentaries stress the importance of confronting historical narratives to prevent division and promote democratic dialogue.
