President Zoran Milanović and many others attended the central ceremony as more than 83,000 people were murdered in the country’s largest concentration camp, Jasenovac, by the pro-Nazi Croatian regime during World War II.
A statement from the presidency said that Milanovic left flowers at the memorial in Jasenovac.
The statement said that a cultural program was organized within the framework of the commemoration ceremony.
Croatia’s largest concentration camp at Jasenovac was established in 1941 by the Nazi-allied regime and closed in 1945. More than 83,000 Croats, Serbs, Jews and Roma were killed in the camp during World War II.
