Crimes in 'Operation Storm' are everyone's responsibility, but are Belgrade and Zagreb interested in investigating?

As early August arrives, Serbs remember those killed and displaced during the 1995 "Operation Storm." In contrast, Croats mark the event as a military victory. This annual commemoration highlights a deep historical divide and ongoing unresolved issues surrounding the conflict.

More than three decades after the operation, at least 612 victim families are still seeking justice. The article points to a lack of apparent interest from both Belgrade and Zagreb in thoroughly investigating and prosecuting alleged crimes committed during "Operation Storm." This inaction leaves victims' families in a prolonged state of uncertainty and without accountability.

The title itself poses a critical question: "Crimes in 'Storm' are everyone's responsibility" – but are Belgrade and Zagreb truly interested in examining and prosecuting them? This framing suggests a perceived failure by both governments to address the alleged atrocities, leaving a lingering sense of injustice and a demand for accountability that remains unmet.
