Croatia Independence Day

 

Croatia Independence Day is celebrated every year on June 25 to commemorate when Croatia proclaimed its intentions to sever its ties with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Did you know that Croatia became an independent country after breaking away from Yugoslavia in 1991? Croatia is one of the youngest independent countries in the world. Croatia Independence Day is known as ‘Dan neovisnosti’ in Croatia. It was previously celebrated on October 8, which is now marked as the Day of the Croatian Parliament. Once a national public holiday, Croatia Independence Day is no longer an off-day and has become a Memorial Day purely. Croatia Independence Day was celebrated for the first time in 2002.
