Siege of Dubrovnik - Shocking Combat Footage Captures City Under Fire (1991)

- Between 9 and 13 November 1991, ITN's Paul Davies and camera operator Nigel Thomson reported from inside Dubrovnik's besieged old city, as the forces of the disintegrating Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia attempted to suppress Croatia's bid for independence by attacking the UNESCO World Heritage Site by sea and air. Remaining in the encircled city along with only a handful of other TV journalists and camera operators, Davies and Thomson recorded daily the attempts of the Serbian-dominated Yugoslav People's Army to terrorise the old city's inhabitants with missiles, mortars, and bombs. When Thomson's pictures were eventually smuggled out of the city and broadcast around the world, they resulted in huge pressure from Washington and even Moscow to call off the bombardment. In the words of Paul Davies, "a single cameraman's work halted the destruction and no doubt saved many lives."

Horror, I was 8 years old then, we spent about 140 days in the city without electricity and water under daily artillery attacks, but we survived✌️💪.
One of the hardest days was on daybreak of Dec 6th, when JNA army launched an all-out attack on Dubrovnik. Heavy artillery, air strikes and naval support from ships. It was like day in Hell.
sounds like mariupol as well

The most bizzare part is that Serbs adamantly claim, to this day, that Dubrovnik is "theirs", and that its culture, literature, art and history belongs to them. But still they bombard it and do their best to burn it down. There's something psychiatric in all that.
If the Serbs could, they would claim Tokyo and sushi was theirs too.

@@LukaVP Galbrajt: "[The] Croatian Army was in Bosnia because the Bosnian Croats were losing the Muslim-Croat war. And it was in essence a defensive effort[... The Croats] were [...] afraid that if they withdrew the Croatian Army, [...] the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina would be victorious and they would lose a lot of territory. [The UN] statement was also an ultimatum, of which the US was a co-author, to Croatia, that it had two weeks to get out of Bosnia and Herzegovina, otherwise it would face sanctions and probably severe sanctions, similar to those that were on Belgrade."

The Republic of Serbia officialy lists Dubrovnik as their own cultural heritage location. This may be historic footage, but Serbian pretense over Croatia is still present at the highest levels.
That's why their EU path is blocked. If Aleksandar Vucic continues with his rhetoric and sabotages in the Balkans, there will be sanctions against Serbia once again.
Serbs were not permitted to spend a night inside Dubrovnik city wally during the existance of Dubrovnik republic, that's how much "Serbian" city was.
Not to mention Serb Nemanjic dynasry waged 5 wars aginst Dubrovnik in the middle ages, than the Schyzmatics again attacked with Russians in 1806. killing more people than in 1991. and destroxying 60% o Dubrovnik republic architecture
Western Herzegovinian lobby is still presenting the Stari Most as "Croatian cultural heritage". 😁So it's quite funny to read comments about Serbs and Dubrovnik, when Croats claim Mostar, which did not even have a Catholic church until 1868. (I wonder how many Croats know this?)
@@hasibhakanovic6682 that is not the official position of the Croatian state, it is not taught in Croatian schools, nor are Croatian institutions promoting it. so don't compare things that can't be compared.
@@guguigugu Most famous promoter of the "Croatian Mostar" is no less than Croat representative currently in the EU parliament Zeljana Zovko... that is an official. HDZ BiH is an offshoot of Croatia's HDZ. Is there a position relayed by officials that is not "official"? Another "official position of the Croatian state": the Croatian Army was not in Mostar and Gornji Vakuf, BiH circa 1993.
We're fed up with Croatian hypocrisy.
At the exact same time as Dubrovnik was being hit on the south of Croatia, on the east a small border town of Vukovar had to go through something far more sinister then Dubrovnik.
Vukovar is considered croatian Alamo. Outnumbered and outgunned it was expected to be captured by the federal army within a few days, but it took them almost 3 months with massive casulties and a switch in moral from confident to frustrated. That frustration led to numerous attrocities after the town finnaly fell and for the first time in human histroy ethnic cleansing was used as a term to describe what was going on.
Vukovar witnessed Stalingrad level of destruction and after it was captured, local non-serb population, along with wounded and captured croatian soldiers were subject to mass torture, rape and executions in the town itself and later on in multiple concentraion camps across Serbia.

What kind of rabid beasts attack defenseless town with artillery shells, bombs, rockets?
Barbarian hordes from the east, from Montenegro and Serbia, attacked unarmed and defenseless city.
plans were created somewhere in western centers of power and sadly they managed to find few politicians to implement that sick plan. nobody wanted a war, we could negotiate for some years to find a model to reforme country or to break up, just to avoid that bloody war.
It's no surprise they're so close with Russia. Identical nations, same degenerate mentality, imperialism, delusion and bloodthirst.
As much as i agree with the general sentiment, calling it a defenceless city is a serious insult to the Croatian defenders

Troops from Serbia and Montenegro attacked and bombed UNESCO Dubrovnik, a world heritage site. The Serbs and its allies pillaged and looted the Croatian countryside around Dubrovnik. They burnt houses down and dragged away Croatian civilians and POWs to the notorious "Morinj camp" which was located in Montenegro, where people were beaten, tortured and murdered.
There were no people killed in that camp .... The High Court in Podgorica found with a final criminal verdict that war crimes were committed against prisoners of war in the form of physical abuse in the Gathering Center of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) in Morinje. Four people were sentenced to prison terms for this - Ivo Gojnić to two years, Boro Gligić to three years, Špiro Lučić to three years and Ivo Menzalin to a prison sentence of four years. The court established that "an atmosphere of terror and fear for bare life reigned in the Morinj Collection Center to which the victims were constantly exposed".
No one speaks enough about slav Montenegrins being complicit with Serbians in the war.

In essence, these were secret actions of the Serbian service, which overthrew the leadership in those provinces of Serbia and in the Republic of Montenegro....
That's how the leadership installed by Milosevic came to Montenegro and manipulated people, stole elections and the referendum from the nineties, etc.With that pro-Serbian population of 28 percent, they have stolen elections and a repressive apparatus against the Montenegrin-oriented majority population.
first of all, they were against the state of Montenegro itself and its survival and independence, and then also against the environment.

What about Croatian war crimes? Jasenovac in ww2 and operation storm
Serbs wanted to demolish completely the old town of Dubrovnik.
They did that with the town of Vukovar unfortunately, and many other small towns and villages in Croatia, but also in Bosnia and Herzegovina..
Only things on fire in the old city were roofs of modern buildings and tires that were piled up on the harbor to make it seem like the city was being destroyed. Also, don't you remember what YOU guys did to us in 14-18, 41-45 AND in 90-95? How many Serb people were expelled from Zadar? How many Serb houses and shops were raided and destroyed in Zadar...
@@MilicijaKrajine How many thousands of Croats and muslims were killed from 1991 to 1995 all across croatia and bosnia, i'm pretty sure Serbs attacked and genocided other nations first
...why are you lying and demonizing an entire ethnicity???
Dubrovnik was a tourist destination in 1993. Mostar still has the signs of destruction by Croatian-aligned militants and the Croatian Army, which you can see to this day. It's interesting to watch the Croats play an interesting game where they alternate between roles of justifying aggression & genocide and self-pity, it mostly depends on who is watching & what they determine they can get away with.

Wake up 🙏
This aggression was carried out by Montenegrins under the command of Belgrade, but it does not excuse them; they attempted to carve up Croatia, but in the end, and thankfully, the Croats freed themselves from Serbian control forever.
Just as the majority of Croats are not responsible for Jasenovac, the whole of Montenegro was not responsible for Dubrovnik either.It was about backward people, people of the transition from communism and socialism to national chauvinism, and blackmailed by dismissal from their jobs. At that time, most people did not know that Serbia had staged a coup d'état and overthrown the old Montenegrin leadership and brought its people loyal to Milosevic to power. Using propaganda and false with the news that the Croats had bombed Herceg Novi, they worked to increase hatred and to make it easier to take action against Dubrovnik. Some high-ranking Montenegrin officers were killed or committed suicide because they were against it. A large number of reservists refused to respond to the military call-up and throughout Montenegro numerous rallies were organized against the war and the bombing of Dubrovnik. Many Montenegrin intellectuals and writers condemned the war campaign on Dubrovnik and many other things....
@@MBA-PRODUCTION
I'm not referring to the Montenegrin people as a whole, not at all, but rather to the military leadership that acted under the orders of Milosevic and the other butchers of Belgrade.
@@gottmituns813 I know, I just described the situation at that time, I was the first to not respond to the call to the reserve and thank God I was never in the reserve since the end of my military service in 1989. in Split until today.

They terrorized us with calls and the police, but that didn't give results, so they decided to mobilize their like-minded people...They had some like-minded people who responded, but it was not much. Although they didn't need much peoples because they knew they could not resist NATO, but they terrorized society with that minority until the referendum.

I am so glad the Croats are free from the Serbian/Russian occupation. I visited Croatia over 10 times, I also visited Serbia and I must admit these are two different types of people, two different mentalities. The Serbs also use 'Russian letters' (cyrillic alphabet) so that explains a lot about who is their master.
The fact that Serbs bombed a UNESCO World Heritage site (Dubrovnik since 1979) speaks a lot about how mean they are.
So the Ukrainians and Bulgarians also used 'Russian alphabet', so what?
@@postgradsibstud9321But they did not bombed UNESCO world heritage. You now Mr. Djojlen?
Operation Storm was the single-most decisive battle of the Croatian War for Independence. Launched by the Republic of Croatia in August 1995, it was the largest European land battle since the Second World War. The success of this remarkable military action by Croatia came after four years of brutal fighting. Outnumbered, outgunned, but not outmaneuvered, this tiny new democracy prevailed in a David versus Goliath battle, a moral as well as military victory by an exceptional people. Storm ended the massive humanitarian disaster and genocide committed by the Serbian Army and Chetnik terrorists. It led to the liberation of one third of Croatian territory seized by the enemy, and it made possible the Dayton Agreement that brought peace to the region. This film documents the events surrounding this extraordinary battle, demonstrating that Croatia, along with its army and generals, deserve commendation from the world community, if not a Nobel Peace Prize. ua-cam.com/video/nKoUo8vzRnc/v-deo.html
@@postgradsibstud9321 Well, it explains a lot. Ukraine has lost a lot of its territories because their population has been heavily 'russified'. This is why they are losing Donbas and have lost Crimea. A lot of their population supported (at least initially) the Russians. And Bulgarians? Well, similar story. This has changed now but initially many Bulgarians (including a friend of mine) were absolutely sure than if the Russians attacked then they must have had a good reason.
What determines your views is not your passport but your culture, including your language or alphabet.
You and your Catholic friends need to take history lesson... Cyrillic has nothing to do with Russian but come from Bulgaria and Macedonia... it also has nothing to do historically with either Serbia or Russia. Croatia was buying weapons from Russia and has extensive dealings with Russia which exist to this day. There was no Serbian "occupation" because there was no legal Croatian territory, Croatia rejected sovereign borders of BiH and had agreed to the division of BiH with Slobodan Milosevic at Karadjordjevo in March 1991 and by implication the legal basis for its own territorial claims, meaning the territory in question was not sovereign nor rightfully any state's, nor could be. Milosevic attacked Croatia only when Croatia rejected the internal boundaries of Yugoslavia, and Croatia complained only because the victims were themselves rather than Bosniaks.
We Croats know that British policy then supported the preservation of Yugoslavia and John Major personally supported Serbian aggression against Croatia. Never forget and never forgive.
So what? Maybe that was a good idea. Maybe they knew Croatians were extremist and their government harbored desires of conquest in BiH, 300 years your lot was sentenced to in the Hague.
Disgusting people. 🤢
Tuta, Ivan Korade, Mirko Norac... how does anybody come to like your lot? The reason Croatia experienced four years of aggression is your Vrhovnik, instead of sending Croatian arms to occupied territories where Croats had a 10:1 advantage in human resources, sent them to Mostar, Gornji Vakuf and Prozor in BiH, where Croats were less than 8% of the population... genius.
@@hasibhakanovic6682 Don't make me start listing Bosniak crimes against Croats.... Don't make me remind you who said "This is not our war", while the Serbs literally burned to the ground a village in BiH where the majority are Croats. So, don't start, pls

@@petarsaric5848 I'm happy for you to list Bosniak crimes, because we know where that goes... any objective would know which list would be bigger... 300 years imprisonment not because of what Serbs or Bosniaks said but because the ICTY determined Croatia was an aggressor and its senior military-political leadership were criminals. This includes all levels of government all the way down to the pettiest Croatian fanatics like Tuta.
Sitting in the prosecutors office in BiH are volumes of crimes committed by Croatian citizens on the territory of BiH, including places like Vrbanja - where Croat militants massacred about seventy civilians in the span of an hour. It's not a surprise most Croatians do not know what Croatia was up to when they do not know their regular army was present in BiH throughout 1993.
Please read the speeches you quote in full... you might be surprised to see the quote has absolutely nothing to do with what you think it does. The speech has been addressed before, including by Croatian officials, as a misrepresentation. President Izetbegovic was addressing Bosniaks in relation to the JNA's mobilization of Bosniaks to be sent to the Croatian front, and this had nothing to do with "Serbs burning down a village" but whether Bosniaks would be sent to fight in Croatia in places like Slavonia at a time Croatia was losing territory by the day and was nearing military exhaustion. So, we see that a civilizational gesture to the Croats that Bosniaks should not join the JNA is used an excuse to sack Prozor...
The takeaway is Croats are full of ill-will, and there is absolutely no talking sense to them. All they've ever been told are lies. What Zagreb understands, and respects, is force.
Even today serbs are dreamin about "Serbian world and greater Serbia". This includes Dubrovnik. According to them Marin Držić is a serb. The idea si passed on from chetnik in commamd, president Vučić.

As an Aussie, with a large Croatian community in all capital cities, I was always looking forward to traveling to Croatia on holiday. Hands down, one of my favourite places I've visited. They have a great sense of humour and in their own way found humour when recalling the siege on Dubrovnik. I had a tour guide on canoes who was a policeman at the time and they were used on the front lines just alongside any able soldier who could form some sort of defence. He laughed about the shocking shortage of weapons and their small arms against the scary weaponary of the Serbs, almost a ridiculous mismatch but they made it through in one way or another. The Croatians were lovely to us and I'll definitely visit again and look forward to hearing the stories from the locals who were happy to tell them with a nice demeanor.
Yes, the Serbs are mostly big cowards.
they smuggled weapons and raided federal armory's there was no "shortage" of weapons or ammo when it came to massacaring Serbian villagers that later turned into rebels or so to speak.

Problem is, there were not 50,000 soldiers in the ARBiH with access to weapons in the entire country, the bulk of armed individuals were fighting the Serbs in Brcko, Majevica, Gorazde and Sarajevo -- you know, Bosnia's population centers -- & not the pissant Lasva Valley.
I heard from your Vrhovnik that it was all part of Alija's plan to settle 500,000 Turks to Bosnia-Herzegovina -- a statement he made.

@@hans7407 Hrvoje, Catholics are serf-settlers that came to the Neretva Valley from the impoverished Venetian Dalmatia in the 18th century to work on the estates of Bosniak landowners. The first Xtolic Chuch in Mostar was built in 1868 -- and in the settlements of the western Mostar there was no recorded Catholic presence until around the same town.
HOS illiterate fanatics/extremists were a bunch of kids under cult leader Dobroslav Paraga who posed with weapons & took photos yet melted wherever they fought, from Posavina to Konjic; the so-called HVO was principally engaged in theft, looting of humanitarian convoys, no fighting, and, as the arm of the Croatian state in BiH, could not defend Croats in Mostar, the Lasva Valley, or anywhere, let alone Bosniaks in major population centers where the so-called HVO had no presence.
Because Croats were incompetent and incapable of protecting anybody, their population went from 16% to about 9% by the end of 1992, and virtually everywhere the HVO attempted to fight the Serbs it crumbled.
The Croatian regime was with its own regular army was not capable of protecting itself with a 10:1 advantage in population against its enemy, let alone fight a proxy war in a foreign country over a border where Croats were about 9% of the population.
This is the reality you kiddos won't hear on HRT.

Operation Storm was the single-most decisive battle of the Croatian War for Independence. Launched by the Republic of Croatia in August 1995, it was the largest European land battle since the Second World War. The success of this remarkable military action by Croatia came after four years of brutal fighting. Outnumbered, outgunned, but not outmaneuvered, this tiny new democracy prevailed in a David versus Goliath battle, a moral as well as military victory by an exceptional people. Storm ended the massive humanitarian disaster and genocide committed by the Serbian Army and Chetnik terrorists. It led to the liberation of one third of Croatian territory seized by the enemy, and it made possible the Dayton Agreement that brought peace to the region. This film documents the events surrounding this extraordinary battle, demonstrating that Croatia, along with its army and generals, deserve commendation from the world community, if not a Nobel Peace Prize. ua-cam.com/video/nKoUo8vzRnc/v-deo.html

Sono stato a Dubrovnik quando ero piccolo, dopo la guerra, ero in vacanza.
Ora che guardo queste immagini mi rattrista moltissimo perchè ricordo della bellissima città che ho visitato e di quanto è bella la Croazia.
Mi ricordo ancora dei muri bucati dalle pallottole e di mio padre che mi diceva, "qui c'è stata la guerra", avevo 10 anni.
Dubrovnik è stupenda e la Croazia l'ho visitata tutta, da nord fino a sud, a Dubrovnik.
Vi voglio bene Croati, un italiano.
By sea, air and land... ...considering all this, they were pretty ineffective. Thank god.
Croatia has a population about the same size as Serbia, minus Kosova. Adding to that its diaspora population, the Croatian population is considerable. Croats are, on average, wealthier than Serbs, Croatia always had a more developed industry than Serbia. Nonetheless, Serbia and Montenegro managed to conquer about a third of Croatia with less than three thousand losses, some areas without any significant resistance. Dubrovnik was saved because the international community told the Serbs and Montenegrins who had it completely surrounded to stop or risk military intervention.
The Croatian Army was in fact defeated by November 1991, and had signed a permanent ceasefire with a third of territory under its control. It was Serbia that controlled Croatia's territory, not the other way around; Croatian was bisected at Benkovac & major cities like Karlovac were within range of Serbian artillery. Tudjman, as a measure of desperation, not strength, began to appeal to the rest of the world for diplomatic, political and military support. You were not speaking like this in 1992, just to remind you.
Croatia's fate ultimately depended on what would happen in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and whether Serb and Montenegrin forces would redeploy to BiH, which meant Croatia never had to fight the bulk of Serb forces frontally. By April 1992, for every armed Krajina soldier, there were about 5 Serb soldiers in BiH.
The question remains is this one: why did it take Croatia, with advantage in human resources of approximately 10:1, four whole years to liberate a third of its territory? Can you give me an example of another country one-third occupied by one tenth of the population? Who was militarily ineffective?

What you’re saying is completely false. Croatia had the right to independence according to the Yugoslav Constitution. If Serbia intervened, it was to carve up Croatian territory and forcibly unite it with Belgrade. That’s why the Serbs in Croatia became emboldened and expelled Croats from their homes-they felt strong because, by then, Serbia already had full control of the JNA.
Yugoslavia effectively no longer existed in 1991; the Serbs had taken over all federal institutions by force, even preventing a Croat like Mesic from becoming president, among many other things.
That’s why they did nothing to stop Slovenia and Macedonia from leaving Yugoslavia, because there were no Serbs there. Thirty years later, some still think the Serbs were defending Yugoslav unity. 🤣

In criminal cases against citizens against the Croatian state acting within the official organs of the Croatian state, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has meted out sentences in total of about 300 years, and named Croatia's elected leaders as members of a JCE (joint criminal enterprise) in a foreign country, Bosnia-Herzegovina. The crimes in question include everything short of genocide. The events in Mostar during 1993 meet the objective definition of Genocide under the Genocide Convention.
Dubrovnik was a tourist destination in 1993; Mostar still has the scars of destruction by Croatian militants. Who really suffered & who were the real victims?

Digusting
This civil war serves as a lesson for many multicultural, multiethnic and multireligious nations.
Yugoslavia had the fifth largest armed forces and one of the most prosperous societies in the Communist Bloc, but, that did not help to overcome ethnic and religious differences.
Tito managed things well, but, after his death, the nation couldn't keep Serbian aggression down.
Sadly, many lives were lost.
Yugoslavia didn't fall apart due to being multicultural or multi ethnic. They fell apart due to deep seated hatred between these groups and the socialist government's failure to resolve it. Hiding your issues and pretending they don't exist will lead to these problems. The second Tito died, the entire charade fell apart. Ignoring calls for peace and understanding between separate groups leads to conflict. Separate nations exist under the EU and it still functions, same in the US. It still works. Because there is dialog between groups. We need peace, not ignorance and blind racism between groups.

As Margaret Thatcher said: The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. After Tito's death the credit lines were cut and all of the communist military, intelligence and political leaders knew economic collapse is coming and different national factions within the communist party started to make plans who gets the leftovers. They partnered up with the nationalist who were up until that moment under constant reppresion by the communist regime which included breaking basic human right, assasinations, imprisonment etc.
Federal army was controlled by the serbian faction with over 80% of officers being serbian nationality. In mid 80's the federal army reformed it's military districts. Before the reform, each of the 7 republics had its own district (+ the navy) and its own Territorial Defense. After the reform there were only 3 districts, and one of them was basiclly an outline of Great Serbia borders. The Territorial Defense was stripped of its weapons leaving the smaller republics defensless before the war even started. Weapons embargo was also put in place by the international community. A decision which favoured only the federal army which already had more then enoguh weapons. Military solution to the Yugoslav crisis was set in motion by the ones who controlled the army. Serbs. It was planned out and preparations were made a decade before the war began.
So, no Yugoslavia was not prosperus, it wasn't even economicly sustainable without the international credit lines which were open only to Tito who (as a stone cold killer and a leader of the most organized anti-nazi gerilla movement) enjoyed great respect in the international community. The war wasn't fought over ethnic and religious differences it was fought over who gets what after Yugoslav economy collapses and ethnic and religious differences were only fuel to the fire. And last thing, from strategic point of view... it wasn't a civil war, it was textbook occupation of territory by a minority (rebel serbs) backed up by an invading force (federal army). Almost identical scenario as the start of invasion on Ukraine.
So you don't think that socialism might have encouraged ethnic collectivism at all then?
Thank you ITN !!!

@@maksym_x because Croatia had nothing and won against 4th rated military power in Europe and Ukraine is getting everything and still losing against so called weak and old military that is Russia. Also Ukraine has independence and Croatia didnt.
@@lukazulj9554 There are some differences between these two wars, but the same thing is happening in Ukraine which happened to us in Croatia. We were both attacked by our imperialistic neighbours who outnumber and outgun us. Remember, we won after 4-5 years, after we already lost a good chuck of our territory. The main difference is the sheer size of Ukraine/Russia war and the majority of it being in the trenches.
meanwhile in Dubrovnik, already for centuries
Just as the majority of Croats are not responsible for Jasenovac, the whole of Montenegro was not responsible for Dubrovnik either. It was about backward people, people of the transition from communism and socialism to national chauvinism, and blackmailed by dismissal from their jobs. At that time, most people did not know that Serbia had staged a coup d'état and overthrown the old Montenegrin leadership and brought its people loyal to Milosevic to power. Using propaganda and false with the news that the Croats had bombed Herceg Novi, they worked to increase hatred and to make it easier to take action against Dubrovnik. Some high-ranking Montenegrin officers were killed or committed suicide because they were against it. A large number of reservists refused to respond to the military call-up and throughout Montenegro numerous rallies were organized against the war and the bombing of Dubrovnik. Many Montenegrin intellectuals and writers condemned the war campaign on Dubrovnik and many other things....

Im from Serbia, and while I dont live there any more, I did spend 15 years of my life there. And from the banter here and there, I have never heard anyone younger ever say anything against Croatia. Also many here are saying that the Serbian mentality is that Dubrovnik is Serbian. This is the first time that I have head that.
Let past stay in the past. Both sides have more than enough skeletons in the closet. We are all the same people, and this civil war was brought on by selfish politicians and a dumb population, on all sides.
None of us are better off because we split up, regardless of who is in which camp. We all have zero military and financial might. And as such are invisible on the world stage.
And the only thing that can happen by holding grudges is more war in the future.

If your statemen is true, the war would be fought on the territory of Serbia also. The war started because your side had an army and we did not, and because your political leadership believed that they could take all Bosnia and part of Croatia and annex it to Serbia. Your leaders were so crazy from that burden that they even supported a military coup in Russia against Yeltsin. We had the misfortune to find ourselves on the path of your tanks towards the planned new borders of Serbia. There was no JNA barracks or its combat units in Dubrovnik. They all comes from your sides.

@@nednorth8883 Sure, and you can hold a grudge and not move on. All the politicians were pulling towards their own side, and not focusing on what was the best for the nation.
The only thing not moving on gets us is another war later on where our kids will die because we could not let go.
Again ,we are the same people. Life goes on. France and the UK were at war for centuries, and now they are good neighbors who trade and work together. Its because they dont have the problem that our people do. Passing on generational traumas.

What cowards bombing a beautiful city
I was in what was then Yugoslavia in 1990 and by the time we got to Austria I told my friends that there’s going to be war in Yugoslavia very soon.
The tension in the country was something I never want to experience ever again. Totally sad and still today there’s war in Europe, all because of a couple of total psychopaths
A couple of total psychopaths? Croatia elected Vrhovnik Franjo by popular vote; Slobodan Milosevic had widespread popular support in Serbia. Two countries full of sociopaths, let's be honest. You're in denial. Every politician in Croatia and Serbia is to the right of Nigel Farage and it has everything to do with the society. 😂
Operation Storm was the single-most decisive battle of the Croatian War for Independence. Launched by the Republic of Croatia in August 1995, it was the largest European land battle since the Second World War. The success of this remarkable military action by Croatia came after four years of brutal fighting. Outnumbered, outgunned, but not outmaneuvered, this tiny new democracy prevailed in a David versus Goliath battle, a moral as well as military victory by an exceptional people. Storm ended the massive humanitarian disaster and genocide committed by the Serbian Army and Chetnik terrorists. It led to the liberation of one third of Croatian territory seized by the enemy, and it made possible the Dayton Agreement that brought peace to the region. This film documents the events surrounding this extraordinary battle, demonstrating that Croatia, along with its army and generals, deserve commendation from the world community, if not a Nobel Peace Prize. ua-cam.com/video/nKoUo8vzRnc/v-deo.html

So little is apparently remembered of this outside of Croatia as it occurred just barely before we had internet and mobile phones. Glad it is being shared again. I was shocked when i visited to see the ages of those who fought and died - all broadly the same age as myself. Very sad for such a beautiful place. And yet everyone is still so friendly and welcoming in the city these days, despite all of this, and despite being frequently overwhelmed by tourists!

Don't search up Dubrovnik 1890 population census 🤭
There was no population census in 1890 in Dubrovnik,. What you are probably thinking is a falsified document about spoken language, in which Austrians put all South slavic speakers as "Croatian-Serbian", and members of Serb party deleted the "Croatian" from the list.
