Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday that he discussed all key national issues with the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) and President of the Republika Srpska (RS).
“I discussed all key national issues for the Serb people with Patriarch Porfirije and Milorad Dodik. We agreed on important joint meetings in the near future on the territory of the RS and Patriarch Porfirije and I accept President Dodik’s proposal to mark a day of remembrance for all the dead and expelled Serbs in the armed operation Storm in Prijedor on August 4,” Vucic wrote in an Instagram post.
Operation Storm (Oluja) was a Croatian military operation to take back control of parts of the country held by Croatian Serb forces in the summer of 1995 resulting in thousands of refugees who went to Serbia and the RS.
