Delegations of the Parliament and Government lay wreaths ahead of All Saints' Day

Zagreb - Delegations of the parliament and government on Tuesday laid wreaths at Zagreb's Mirogoj cemetery on the eve of All Saints' Day.

They laid wreaths at the Wall of Pain, the main cross in the Homeland War Defenders Lane, the grave of Croatia's first president Franjo Tuđman, and the grave of unidentified Homeland War victims.

By laying wreaths, the parliamentary delegation paid its respects to all those who gave their lives for our homeland, Speaker Gordan Jandroković told the press. "To all Croatian defenders who gave their lives for Croatia and to the civilian victims, to all those who were killed, went missing or embedded a part of themselves in Croatia's freedom."

The government delegation included Veterans Minister Tomo Medved, Defence Minister Mario Banožić, Interior Minister Davor Božinović, and Culture and Media Minister Nina Obuljen Koržinek.

Wreaths were also laid at Mirogoj by a delegation of the City of Zagreb, led by Mayor Tomislav Tomašević and Assembly president Joško Klisović, and delegations of the Social Democratic Party and the HDZ party's Zagreb branch.
