Reminescences
Summary: From the Reminder of the Events of the Years 1990-1991
Mladen Juranić
Abstract
During the years 1990 and 1991, making historical decisions crucial to the realization of the centuries-old striving of the numerous generations of our beloved country for its independence, the Croatian people was facing the fact that the goal in question couldn’t be realized without blood and sacrifice. At that time, throughout Croatia, conflicts induced in the areas with a majority Serb population or in the areas next to the state border of the Republic of Croatia were escalating on daily basis. That development made it inevitable to include all the Croatian potentials, both in manpower and material, without regard to the place of residence and its "higher or lower" exposure to the immediate enemy activity. In accomplishing this task the island of Krk has made an immense contribution in the war times of 1991. How and when the preparations for the defense of the island started, we find, inter alia, in the records of Mr Mladen Juranić (who from 28th May 1990 was occupying the office of the president of the Executive Council of the Assembly of the Community of Krk). He chiefly emphasizes the fact that the greatest contribution to the defense of the Croatian lands has been given by those who have laid their lives at the Altar of the Homeland, whom we must express to our loud respect, honor and boundless gratitude. These are their names from the island of Krk: Nikola Albaneže, Ivica Antončić, Zlatko Kamenarić, Marijan Kolara, Boris Krnčević, Vitodrag Maričić, Boris Mršić, Milan Nedić and Zoran Turčić.
