On October 8th 1991, Croatia has marked the anniversary confirming the break of all ties with the Yugoslav state.
At the time, Zagreb and President Franjo Tudjman's office were bombed by the Yugoslav Army (JNA), and with this case were forced to hold secretly meetings, the Balkansight branch in Zagreb broadcast Koha.net.
On October 8th of this year, Parliament held a secret session, where all ties with Yugoslavia were decided to be severed.
Thus, Croatia's earlier declaration of independence from Yugoslavia, adopted on June 25th 1991, was recognised.
Thus, all state and judicial ties with all other regions of Yugoslavia were severed.
The JNA, an occupational army, was declared and was forced to leave Croatian territory.
In this case, members of the European Community and the United Nations were invited to establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of Croatia.
Croatia's full recognition took place in January 1992, after Germany and other EU countries announced recognition of this new state.
