Waking up to the usual newspaper headlines, especially after expending my energy on an article all about our unethical politicians, can be rather depressing.  However, I always remind myself of how much worse it could be.

Today, thinking back to 1995 and the brutal occupation of Croatia, the siege of Bihac, and the murderous Serb rampage across Bosnia, my heartfelt response is “thank God for Operation Storm”.  As I have said before, General Gotovina did more for peace and justice in two days than the ICTY has done in two decades.  If it were not for Operation Storm in 1995, Croatia would have remained occupied, the conflict in Bosnia would have persisted, massacres such as Srebrenica would have been succeeded by even more notorious war crimes, and the world would have been subjected to more of the UN’s interminable equivocation and inaction.

Hello,

I’m Ina

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia.  I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
