Not a "Serbian decisive victory"
Actually, Croatian foces did several advantages: taking several villages NW and NE of Glina. On NW sector, Croatian army retreated across the river Kupa, and sustained casualties mostly because of cold weather and damaged (sinking) boats. Serbs DID NOT took those villages back, these remained uninhabited and unoccupied in no-mans-zone until Operation Storm, which was favorable to Croats, as Serbs couldn't move their artillery more forward.
In the NE sector, all Croatian advantages were kept. So basically, offensive didn't meet it's goal, but it gain some advantage for Croats. It is definitely not Serbian "decisive victory".
