Serbs mourned while Croats celebrated as the Balkan neighbors marked the anniversary of a 1995 Croatian offensive "Storm" which triggered an exodus of hundreds of thousands of Serbians. Croatia is marking its military operation with victory celebrations, while Serbia considers the Storm offensive a war crime that resulted in the exodus of most Serbs living in Croatia, in convoys on tractors and horse-drawn carts. Hundreds were killed in the process.
