Summary/Abstract: Based on the relevant archival material, press and literature, this text will discuss the rebellion of the part of the First Krajina Corps of the so-called Army of the Republika Srpska in Banja Luka. The uprising called action „September ‘93“ began on September 9, 1993 and ended in about ten days. In addition to the pronounced social dissatisfaction, it also had much deeper political reasons, which are revealed by transcripts from the sessions of the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska and the Supreme Defense Council of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The sessions showed the attitudes of the Serbian political elite and the military leadership in Republika Srpska towards this event. Based on exhaustively analyzed sources, the author raises the question of whether Radovan Karažić initiated and instigated the Rebellion, which was nominally directed against „war profiteers“, with the aim of consolidating his power by homogenizing the political structures of the SDS.
