Additional information

Operation Storm, launched on 4 August 1995, was the largest European land offensive since World War II, retaking the Krajina region from the self-declared Republic of Serbian Krajina in roughly 84 hours. Croatia's military had spent the preceding years rebuilding and retraining largely in secret, with significant assistance routed through private American military contractors — a dimension of the operation that remained politically sensitive for years afterward.

The Croatian National Bank has issued commemoratives tied to Storm before; this 2020 piece marks the 25th anniversary specifically pairing the military operation with the concurrent police actions, a framing that acknowledges the coordinated civilian-authority component often overshadowed in military histories of the campaign.
