This group is dedicated for all Homeland Defenders, expecially those who have fallen bravely in Homeland War ( Domovinski Rat 1991.-1995.) in the name of Croatia, its people and freedom. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest in peace for eternity, fallen heroes of Croatia! NAVIK ON ŽIVI KI ZGINE POŠTENO!
The Siege of Dubrovnik (Croatian: Opsada Dubrovnika) is a term marking the battle and siege of the city of Dubrovnik and the surrounding area in Croatia as part of the Croatian War of Independence. Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) invaded the Dubrovnik area in October 1991 from Montenegro, Bosnia and even parts of Croatia, surrounding the city in order to conquer it. The three-month bombardment of the port city was one of the events which turned international opinion against the Serbs.
Dubrovnik was besieged and attacked in October 1991, with the major fighting ending in early 1992 and the Croatian counterattack finally lifting the siege and liberating the area in mid-1992, despite suffering heavy losses. The heaviest shelling of the city was on St. Nicholas Day, on 6 December 1991, when thirteen civilians were killed, which represented the greatest number of civilian deaths on a single day during the siege. According to the United Nations report, the siege caused at least 15,000 refugees, of which 7,000 were evacuated by sea in October 1991, whereas the city itself was without electricity or fresh water for at least two months, until the end of December 1991, since the JNA forces bombarded the district's electrical grid. The population at that time was dependent on ships for their water supply.
