 1995/12/15 21:07 BRINGING THE POSAVINA IN ORDER
He refuted accusations that he had surrendered Posavina over to the Serbs under some secret deal in which the sides had agreed that the Croatian units would be withdrawn from that area (an official investigation was instituted in this respect at a certain point in the past but its results were never disclosed).
This shift of hard core HDZ supporters to the enemy camp occurred at a time when relations between Tudjman and the opposition were at their lowest, after the opposition had won an overwhelming victory at the local elections in Zagreb and the ruling party refused to surrender power over to a coalition of opposition parties.
This has placed insurmountable hurdles before the people of Posavina, which they physically experienced as it were, when they headed for the Assembly building in protest, and were met there by a strong police force, some of which were not loath at all to use their nightsticks.

What was particularly striking in 1992 and 1993 in the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, apart from war operations and horrors, was genocidal activity of Croat and Muslim military and civilian authorities against the Serb population (civilians - non-combatants, wounded and sick persons, and prisoners of war).
Under the control of Muslim and Croat forces, a large number of detention camps was formed in Bosanska Posavina, intended for placement of civilians and prisoners of war, of Serb nationality.
Thus, in the area of Bosnian Posavina a system of 35 prison camps was established (Brod-8, Brcko-19, Samac-1, Orasje-4 and Odzak-3) for Serbian civilian population.
