War anniversary commemorations in Kupres and Vukovar

Commemorative events were held in Kupres and Vukovar to mark significant anniversaries of military operations and battles from the 1990s conflicts.

In Kupres, a two day program marked the 32nd anniversary of the city's liberation during Operation Cincar in 1994. Organized by the Municipality of Kupres, the Croatian National Assembly of BiH, and local veterans' associations, the program included wreath laying, memorial masses, and a parade of veterans. Kupres Municipality Mayor Danko Jurič emphasized the historical importance of the date, stating that the sacrifices of Croatian defenders must be preserved in memory. The ceremonies also included prayers for victims of both the Homeland War and World War II.

In Vukovar, ceremonies marked the 35th anniversary of the fall of Lušca. On November 2, families, veterans, and local officials laid wreaths and lit candles at a memorial cross in the Lužac neighborhood to honor 69 Croatian defenders and civilians killed during the 1991 occupation by the former Yugoslav People's Army and paramilitary forces. Local officials noted that the fall of Lušca was a critical moment preceding the broader collapse of the defense of Vukovar.
