Battles of Ilidža
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battles on Ilidža (in Serbian: Bitke na Ilidžu; in Serbian Cyrillic: Битке на Илиџу; in Bosnian: Bitke na Ilidži) were attacks executed by Bosnian Muslims (ARBiH) to capture Ilidža from the Yugoslav army (JNA). The reason why the Bosnians attacked the settlement of Ilidža was to widen the passage between Sarajevo and the rest of the country. Two major battles happened in the area, both turned into victories of the JNA with considerable losses on both sides. These played an important role in the further course of the Siege of Sarajevo.
