Today the Croatian Armed Forces together with numerous citizens gathered in the cities of Zagreb, Split, Pula and Rijeka have marked Croatia’s Statehood Day.<\/p>\n

The Statehood Day is an occasion to recall the historical moments of Croatia’s struggle for freedom and independence, as well as an opportunity to express gratitude to all Croatian Homeland War defenders and CAF members who serve their country every day.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, a tactical and technical assembly of weapons, combat and non-combat equipment of the Croatian Armed Forces was exhibited in Zagreb, Split, Osijek and Pula. At the Jarun Sports and Recreation Centre in Zagreb, a ceremonial programme was held, attended by several thousand citizens and high-ranking state officials, which also included demonstration exercises conducted by members of the Croatian Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the Croatian Air Force flight programme.<\/p>\n
