 Bosnia Report - April-May 1995 - Regaining Western Slavonia
The first thing to be sressed in analysing Croatia's recent military operation to liberate Western Slavonia is that the country would have remained heavily incapacitated if the status quo had been allowed to continue, with one third of its territory under Serbian occupation.
Some months prior to the liberation of Western Slavonia, Zagreb had reached an economic agreement with Knin under which roads and railway lines through the occupied territory were supposed to be opened, while trade and othr forms of communication were to be established between the free and occupied zones.
The liberation of Western Slavonia was undoubtedly a well conceived and efficiently executed operation; However, it does not change the fundamental truth that, for Croatia, victory can ultimately be achieved only in close cooperation with the army of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
