EXHIBITION OF WAR PHOTOGRAPHS "STORM '95" OPENED

( Editorial: --> 1770 ) ZAGREB, Aug 4 (Hina) - An exhibition of war photographs entitled "Storm '95" was opened on Tuesday in the "Zvonimir" gallery at the Defence Ministry headquarters in Zagreb. On behalf of Defence Minister Andrija Hebrang, Brigadier Dusan Viro opened the exhibition and sent best wishes for tomorrow's Homeland Gratitude Day. He emphasised how this exhibition was a reminder of all those who sacrificed their lives for Croatia, and who must never be forgotten. The exhibited photographs were taken during the military operation "Storm" in the summer of 1995, and the authors were Croatian Army photographers as well as Croatian soldiers taking part in the action. Viro said that despite the battles, Croatian soldiers had succeeded in recording everything which had occurred during and after the operation. Visitors to the exhibition can see photographs of the 125th Brigade in action near Cerovlje, seized ammunition in Korenica, Petrinja and Glina (central Croatia), the sanitation of the terrain in Korenica, Interior Ministry special police in action in the Lika region and the surrender of the rebel Serbs' 21st corps, as well as the liberation of Croatian towns including Petrinja, Slunj, Glina, Knin and Dvor na Uni. The exhibition will be open during August. (Hina) mbr 042029 MET aug 98
