Majevica front (1992–1995)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Majevica Campaign or the Majevica front 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.[4]
