Majevica front (1992–1995)
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Majevica front (1992–1995) was one of the main campaigns during the Bosnian War with intense clashes occurring on a regular basis, the situation stayed 50/50 on the hills (and the surrounding areas) until the 1995 Dayton Agreement.
The Bosnian Serbs and the Bosnians wanted to control Majevica, as it had a radio tower vital for: communication, television, telephone communication's and node radio, as this would help supply and help the Bosnian Serb army. Holding part of the mountain held a great advantage for both sides, as the Bosnians and Serbs could threaten their territories in North-Western Bosnia.
Background
As the Yugoslav People's Army (Jugoslovenska narodna armija – JNA) withdrew from Croatia following the acceptance and start of implementation of the Vance plan, its 55,000 officers and soldiers born in Bosnia and Herzegovina were transferred to a new Bosnian Serb army, which was later renamed the Army of Republika Srpska (Vojska Republike Srpske – VRS). This reorganisation followed the declaration of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 9 January 1992, ahead of the 29 February – 1 March 1992 referendum on the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This declaration would later be cited by the Bosnian Serbs as a pretext for the Bosnian War. Clashes began in Early 1992, as tensions arose between Serbs and Bosniaks in the Majevica and Semberija region. The 1992 Yugoslav People's Army column incident in Tuzla culminated in the bloody skirmishes in Bosnia and Majevica.
