However, we fi nd it diffi cult to hold out against the attacks from the Cazin area towards
Petrovac because of the obstructive behaviour and fear of the local population, and of
the greater part of the troops of the Army of Republika Srpska (from the area under
consideration).
We have done everything in order to bring manpower from other parts of Republika
Srpska and have succeeded to the extent permitted by the situation in other theatres in
which we are engaged. At present we are preparing a combined unit of brigade rank from
all parts of Republika Srpska and we intend to commit it to a counter attack towards
Cazin. We shall need 3-4 days for that.
We are asking you to use the forces of your Lika, Kordun and Banija Corps in order to
exert pressure from a semicircular perimeter on the Cazin area, i.e., on the forces of the
5 th Corps of the so-called Army of BiH. You must also intersect all supply (smuggling)
channels through which the 5 th Corps is re-supplied with manpower and materiel (as
agreed on December 1993).
Th ank you for the assistance given us so far by deploying units in the threatened areas
and for the presence of President Martić 38 and the Commander of the SVK General
Staff 39 in the threatened areas on 27 October 1994.
We expect that we shall be able, by joint eff orts, to eliminate also this danger for the
Serbian people west of the Drina. (...)

In the Krupa - Radjić part of the front the enemy has fortifi ed its positions and did
not mount any active operation against our forces. At Grabež and Ripač the enemy is
fortifying and has tried to infi ltrate sabotage&terrorist units in our rear at Gorijevac, but
the attempt was prevented. Hostile forces are putting up tough resistance at Tihotina -
