Raspoređivanje snaga UNPROFOR-a i (ne)provedba demilitarizacije na okupiranom području zapadne Slavonije
Deployment of UNPROFOR and (un)achieved demilitarisation in the occupied territories of Western Slavonia in 1992

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the demilitarization of the occupied territory of Western Slavonia in 1992 primarily based on published and unpublished archival materials. It reveals the organisation of Territorial Defence in Western Slavonia during the first half of 1992, the deployment of UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Forces) and the withdrawal of the Banja Luka corps of JNA (Yugoslav People’s Army); special attention is given to the role of Special Police Units, which, after the withdrawal of JNA, gained a primary role in the protection of RSK (Republic of Serb Krajina). This paper also refers to the attitude of UNPROFOR representatives towards (un)achieved demilitarization, as well as their relationship with the government of the rebel Serbs in Western Slavonia.
