Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of the ethnic cleansing in which during 'Oluja' military operation by Croatian Army, during several hours only almost 270,000 Serbs were expelled from their homes in Dalmatia, Lika, Banija and Kordun. Almost 80 percents of their homes were robbed, burnt or destroyed.

False.

Around 150,000 Serbs fled before the attack, as the order was given by their own authorities to retreat with their defeated army into Serb-controlled Bosnia.

The operation began in the early morning hours on August 4, 1995. It was carried out by 200,000 Croatian soldiers, 700 tanks and armoured personnel carriers, 1,800 artillery weapons, 47 combat planes and helicopters.

Once again, False.

Around 100,000 soldiers and special police forces took part in the liberation.

There goes that word "liberation" again, yeah, private citizens were "liberated" from their private property. What a glorious victory.

Dio, double your number and you have it, 200K HVO troops involved. The evac was pre-ordered but was not completed and that was what led to the chaos on the Serb side. Those RSK soldiers who disobeyed orders that came from Belgrade, if they had the supply that was prepositioned for them, would have sliced the HVO into two and halted the ground operations of the HVO. The HVO would have to redirect their focus on that group and would have bought enough time for the BSA and RSK troops to counter the offensive strike.
