In remembrance
What happened fifteen years ago on November 25th, 1991
On this day the Yugoslav Army and the irregular
units of the Serb Chetniks began their final offensive
against the village of Laslovo in Croatia that has been
under continuous attack already for 152 days.
The village was being defended by the local population
and the Croatian Guardists, about 300 people, all told.
One of the units of the Guardists was the First International
Platoon that was organized just a few weeks before in
Laslovo. At its inception this unit already had volunteers
of nine different nationalities in its roster: Croatian,
Hungarian, Bosnian, Serb, Spanish, Portuguese, British,
Austrian and USA-American.
The defenders held out bravely until the ammunition and
other supplies lasted and until new lines of defense could
be erected in the vicinity of the city of Osiek. Only then
they were ordered to break out or give up their positions.
The break out was conducted in an organized manner.
More than 380 people (civilians and soldiers carried the
casualties with them for more than nine hours, through
the Serb encirclement) reached the area defended by
the Croatians. After a few days of rest the volunteers were
deployed again to reinforce the lines of the Free Croatian
Army, preventing the Serbs from reaching another city,
Osiek, after the atrocious ravages they've inflicted on Vukovar.
In the final offensive on Laslovo the Serbs, who attacked with
tanks and rocket launchers, had suffered serious personnel
losses. The defenders also lost most of their men at that time.
Among the eight casualties of the First International Platoon
there were Serbs, Hungarians, Croatians and a Bosnian.
During the long years of the occupation the Serbs carried
away everything movable and completely ruined the heroic
village until 1997 when Laslovo was again placed under
Croatian jurisdiction and its rebuilding could begin in earnest.
The reconstruction of the church is now almost finished and
the local Cultural Center has also opened its doors recently.
Laslovo, this Arpad-era little village with a long history is
proudly alive again.
Honor to those who lost their lives for its freedom. We will
guard their memory.
