OPERATION TEMPEST - A CRIME WITHOUT A PUNISHMENT, A CRIME THAT ENDURES: Why are we in BLACK today, why do we GRIEVE and whom do we MOURN?!

20 years ago, on this great Serbian holiday Good Marija began a Croatian military forces action called "Operation Storm" in which 280.000 Serbs were expelled from their homes, while about 2,000 people were killed, for which no has ever been punished and many people are still missing! Because of all these casualties (and victims are victims, regardless of their names, gender and ethnicity) Telegraf.rs will be in black today and mourn over their souls that have left for eternity for no reason!
