ZAGREB, August 2 (Hina) - Prime Minister Ivica Racan on Friday
forwarded greetings to Croatian citizens in honour of August 5,
Homeland Thanksgiving and Victory Day. #L#
On behalf of the Croatian Government and on my own personal behalf,
I wish all citizens in our homeland a happy Victory and Homeland
Thanksgiving Day.
We are celebrating the seventh anniversary of the great Croatian
military victory when in the "Storm" action Knin was liberated.
When in the early 90s it appeared that Croatia would commence a
normal interior transition, the greater-Serbian invasion forced us
in to a defensive war of survival. We celebrate this day in memory of
all the victims who created our independent and free Croatia.
Croatia won in the war and it is up to us for her to succeed in peace,
the Premier's greeting said.
