Operation Storm--Ten Years Later
Hague Tribunal Representative Aleksandra Milenov, speaking at a Serb refugee camp outside Belgrade, on the indictment of Croats responsible for war crimes during Operation Storm (whose anniversary is today):
“The Tribunal, unfortunately, cannot issue indictment for all war criminals. The Tribunal focuses on those that it feels are most responsible.” Milenov said.

Seventy percent of the refugees living in these camps in Serbia are from Croatia.

Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said that Croatia had every right, according to UN resolutions, to implement the Storm operation. “This action was exceptionally prepared, under all guidelines of war, and was implemented to quickly break the resistance of the aggressor and was carried out while following all international conventions. Unfortunately, after the operation, there were excesses, war crimes and robberies. This was already taken care of in court, but was not completed and now is the time to do so.” Mesic said.
