A new Memorial Center and memorial room dedicated to the victims of the Homeland War have been opened in Škabrnja. The opening took place during the Municipality of Škabrnja Day, marking the period leading up to the 35th anniversary of the events of November 18, 1991.

Croatian officials, including Minister of Demography and Settlements Ivan Šipić and Minister of Croatian Veterans Tomo Medved, attended the ceremony. The memorial space is intended to serve as an educational site for future generations to learn about the defense of the area and the crimes committed during the war.
