The event, held amid the ongoing pandemic of the COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, commemorated the 75th anniversary of the mass executions and repression of thousands of Axis-aligned soldiers and civilians that took place in May 1945 when Yugoslavia ? including the Ustasa-controlled fascist puppet state known as the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) ? was freed by the Soviet Union's Red Army and Partisan forces.
