On
November 18, Divine Liturgy and a memorial service
were held in the church of St. Mark in Belgrade for
the victims of the military action, operation
“Storm”, reports the
official website of the Serbian Orthodox Church. The
services were the Church’s answer to The Hague
Tribunal’s decision to release the Croation state
and Croation generals Markac and Gotovina from any
responsibility for massacring over 1,000 Krajina Serbs,
expelling 250 thousand others from their centuries-old
homes, and looting or destroying their property in 1995.
To date, no one has been tried for this large-scale crime,
which stands out as one of the bloodiest and cruelest
examples of ethnic cleansing in recent times.
The memorial service following Divine Liturgy was
celebrated by His Grace Bishop Atanasije of Hvosno, Vicar
of the Serbian Patriarch, and concelebrated by many
priests and deacons of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Many
worshippers attended the service.
