Sažetak
: New research in the field of memory studies has shed considerable light on how the World War Two past was distorted and manipulated in order to justify the resurgence of violence after 1991 in the former Yugoslavia, including the instrumentalization of commemorations, memorials, collective memories of victims, and other aspects of the memory culture in this region. Commemorations of the wars in the 1990s threaten to create permanently conflicting narratives of the past and prevent the post-war reconciliation which will ensure long- term stability in the region. The media, narrow political interests, and the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) all play a role in how commemorations of Yugoslavia’s breakup, and by extension social memory of the recent past, are perceived. This article examines how the post- communist commemorative culture in Croatia affects Serb-Croat relations, with a focus on the annual celebrations of the Croatian Army’s most successful military action during the Homeland War, Operation Storm (Oluja).
