A memorial service was held in central Belgrade’s St Mark’s church on Monday in 
memory of Serb victims of the Croatian police and military operation in Western 
Slavonia in 1995. 

Croatian Serbs present at the service for the dead in operation Flash also laid 
wreaths at a monument to Serb dead in the wars of the 1990s in the former 
Yugoslavia in nearby Tasmajdan park.

Veritas Documentation Center chief Savo Strbac said that no one has been held 
accountable for the Serbs killed in the Western Slavonia area of Croatia. That 
area was part of the breakaway Serb republic in Croatia in the first half of 
the 1990s after Zagreb declared independence from Yugoslavia.

Spokespeople for the Association of the families of the missing and dead said 
that Western Slavonia was under UN protection but that the peacekeepers 
withdrew to their bases before the Croatian military and police operation.

Estimates said that some 15,000 Serb civilians fled the area. The Veritas 
center claims to have evidence of 283 Serbs killed, 162 of who have been found 
while the rest are still missing. The Hague Tribunal drafted an indictment of 
the late Croatian President Franjo Tudjman for war crimes committed in the 
operation.
