Every year on the 18th of November the anniversary of the fall of Vukovar is marked in Croatia. Tens of thousands of people from all over Croatia and abroad participate in a commemorative procession known as ''Column of Remembrance'', walking through the streets of Vukovar to the memorial graveyard at the eastern entrance to the town, where most of Croatian soldiers and civilians who died during the siege are buried. Cities and towns from all over Croatia have streets named after Vukovar. In 1999, the Croatian Parliament declared November 18 the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Vukovar 1991. By the decision of the Government of the Republic of Croatia from 2019, November 18 is marked as a national non-working holiday - the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Homeland War and the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja.
