An incident involving the burning of a national flag was recorded near the town of Otočac, Croatia, on a day preceding the anniversary of the military and police operation known as “Stuhia.” According to footage published by the Croatian portal Index.hr, two individuals were observed at a monument site. The video documentation shows that the two people, who were dressed entirely in black and had their faces obscured, accessed the monument by climbing over its perimeter fence. Upon reaching the area, they placed a Serbian flag on the monument structure.
Moments later, the individuals set the flag alight, an action that was captured entirely on video recording. Additionally, a banner bearing the inscription, “Thank you for everything, we are free people, Stuhia ’95,” was situated at the same location. The reference to Operation “Stuhia” is significant, as the operation is widely regarded within Croatia as a symbol of the liberation of its territory.
The context surrounding this event highlights differing national perspectives regarding the historical significance of the operation. The report focuses purely on the sequence of events: the presence of two individuals, the placement of the serbian flag, and the subsequent act of burning the flag. The documentation provides a visual record of the protest action taking place near the memorial site.
