Sources: RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty, B-92 News (warning: highly partisan), and Croatia public holidays. This year, once again, Serb groups throughout the Balkan States have launched campaigns criticizing the observance of the August 5 public holiday in Croatia.Analysis: As the August 5 public holiday commemorates the end of the Croatian War of Independence, and Serbs are still (perhaps unjustly?) regarded as the originators of the Balkans wars of the 1990's, it is unlikely that Croatia will face any pressure to even consider changing this public holiday in the near future.
