Today we remember all those who advocated and protested for the freedom of our Homeland. Exactly 28 years ago, the international community recognized Croatia as an independent nation. This is a day of self-determination, a day for which our ancestors yearned.
As Franjo Tuđman personally stated in his speech on the 15th of January, 1992:
“Ahead of us is the task that [Croatia] needs to prove how she can be a great and wise nation in her own freedom. On her own, for her interest of the well-being and happiness of all her citizens.”
