The memory of Soviet soldiers who died during World War II will be immortalized in Croatia, TASS reports. The memorial will be installed in the Shtrigov community, located in the north of the country. The regional administration and the Russian Embassy will help to install the monument.
The opening ceremony is scheduled to take place in the first half of 2022.
According to historian and head of the Memory Society, Damir Yasharevich, the memorial will be named "Park of Peace and Friendship". More than 700 soldiers are planned to be reburied there. Their remains remains were found on the territory of the community and the region.
