Operation Oluja memorial initiatives

Entities: Zalužnica · Operation Oluja · Milica Đurđević Stamenkovski · Ivica Brajković · Republic of Serbia

Overview

In late July 2026, a restored war memorial was inaugurated in Zalužnica, Croatia, honoring Croatian defenders who fell during the 1995 Operation Oluja. The ceremony involved veteran groups, local officials and families of the deceased, and the site now permanently displays the names of the fallen.

A week later, Serbian authorities announced the construction of a new memorial complex near the Banstol church in Sremski Karlovci. The project, slated to begin in August, will list the names of more than 8,000 Serbs killed, wounded or missing in the same 1995 operation, providing a dedicated place of remembrance for the Serbian community.

Together, these initiatives illustrate parallel efforts by Croatia and Serbia to commemorate the differing human costs of Operation Oluja, each establishing physical sites to preserve memory and honor those affected by the conflict.
