The conflict between the Croatian Defense Council (HVO) and the Armed Forces of the Repablic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ABIH) in Prozor in Octobe 1992

Summary/Abstract: The clash between Croatian Defence Council (HVO) and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ABIH) in Prozor, which took place 23-25 October, 1992, was brought on as a result of the widening of the conflict between the HVO and the ABiH in central Bosnia, or more precisely, an outgrowth of the violence which erupted in Novi Travnik on 18 October 1992. The conflict must be viewed within the context of the general worsening of relations between the ABiH and HVO which began with the redirection of the Serbian war machine against the Muslims in April 1992. The conflict in Prozor is not an incident that occured quickly or unexpectedly, rather it is the local result of opposing views of the current political situation and future organization of Bosnia and Hercegovina. The actual conflictoccured when members of the ABiH killed a soldier of the HVO without provocation, which brought about the clash of arms which resulted in the defeat of the ABiH in Prozor as well as the retreat of portion of the Muslim inhabitants of the twon. Very quickly the following year, 1993, the Muslim (Bosniak) propaganda machine began transforming the conflict in Prozor into an act of violence against its own constituency, which, despite the fact that its forces were not present in the region, implicated the armed forces of the Republic of Croatia.
