COBISS.SI-ID: 1285509The last decade of the 20th century brought major changes toYugoslavia. Shortly after Tito's death latent tensions erupted to the surface. In the early eighties Albanian riots erupted in the autonomous province of Kosovo which helped revive Serbian nationalism for decades kept under control by the communist regime. In 1986 excerpts of SANU Memorandum were published in which the position of the Serb nation in Yugoslavia was portrayed as catastrophic. In Serbia in the late eighties a mass movement occurred which expressed hegemonic aspirations of the Serbs under the leadership of Slobodan Milošević. In Croatia HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) under the leadership of Franjo Tuđman won the first free elections after the Second World War. HDZ has taken a number of measures to reduce the disproportionate role of the Serbian minority in public life in Croatia and revived the old Croatian symbols from the time of NDH (Independent State of Croatia), which caused great outrage with Croatian Serbs. In August 1990 the Krajina Serbs declared autonomy in Knin and blocked traffic routes to Dalmatia. The resistance has spread to other areas where Serbs lived in Croatia. In early 1991 the unrests have escalated into armed conflicts with the Croatian police in Pakrac, Plitvice, and Borovo Selo. First victims fell on both sides. Faced with the strong JLA dominated by Serbs, Croatia was disarmed. In late July 1991 the war in Croatia totally flared. Until then the Serb rebels - with the help of JLA and paramilitary formations - managed to occupy a large part of Croatia without major armed conflict with the Croatian side. Fights broke out in a wide arc from Gospić in the south and Karlovac in the north - which is close to Zagreb and south of it - over Pakrac and Okučani to Vukovar in Eastern Slavonia. The army fought in Croatia on a regional scale, in more independent and completely separated areas. In this way several battlefields were formed which were not linked militarily but logically in the implementation of the project of Greater Serbia. The fiercest fights with most victims were held in the Eastern Slavonian battlefield and culminated with the Serbian occupation of Vukovar. The intensity of the fighting in the Western Slavonian battlefield was only slightly behind that of Eastern Slavonia. The battlefields of Banija, Pokolpje, Karlovac, and Kordun were held for most northwestern battlegrounds in the war in Croatia, and were the closest to Slovenia. In Lika and northern Dalmatia Serb rebels -with the help of JLA - wanted to occupy Zadar and thus carve out the passage to the sea. Here Croatian forces skilfully fend off Šibenik. The south Dalmatian (Dubrovnik) battlefield together with the maritime battlefield represented the most southern developments of the war in Croatia. In early October 1991 JLA unexpectedly attacked Dubrovnik from the sea, land and air but the defenders repelled all attacks. At the end of 1991 the balance of power began to tilt in favour of Croatia. The Croatian army took this opportunity with the offensive for the liberation of Western Slavonia which was completed only in part due to the ceasefire signed in Sarajevo in early 1992. In March 1992 the UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Force) operation was launched in Croatia. The troops were distributed to areas occupied by rebel Serbs and JLA. In April of the same year the Croatian army tried to penetrate Baranja but was not successful. In early July 1992 the Croatian Army liberated the Dubrovnik coastal area. On June 21 in 1992 Croatian forces began a campaign on the Miljevac plateau and thus forced the Serb forces to withdraw from the vicinity of Šibenik and Vodice. In early 1993 the Croatian army launched an operation which pushed the Serbs to withdraw from key points around Maslenica, airport Zemunik and the hydroelectric dam of Peruća. Simultaneously with the military actions the Croatian and Serbian sides also concluded a few agreements. In September 1993 Croatian
