PARLIAMENT Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic on Tuesday sent his greetings on the occasion of Victory Day, Homeland Thanksgiving Day and Croatian Veterans' Day in which he called for realising a vision of Croatia as a safe country with legal and social certainty.
In his message he recalled that 25 years ago the military-police operation Storm liberated Croatia and reinstated Croatian sovereignty over the majority of occupied territory, paving the way for the process of peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube region.
He said that along with Operation Flash, Operation Storm was the key operation that led to the end of the Homeland War.
Jandrokovic: It's our obligation to protect the dignity of the Homeland War
On this day we express our gratitude to all brave Croatian defenders and their families, to all heroes who won a victory in the Homeland War which is the foundation of the free, independent, democratic and sovereign Croatia, Jandrokovic said.
It is our obligation, today and in the future, to protect the dignity of the Homeland War and to continue building Croatia on the values that we showed in the Homeland War, he added.
"With the faith in our own abilities and knowledge, let's realise the vision of Croatia as a safe country with legal and social certainty, social justice, solidarity and inclusiveness, a country with a strong and sustainable economy and a country of knowledge and innovation in which young people will find opportunities to realise their personal and professional lives and contribute to its demographic vitality," said Jandrokovic.
