Daily report of the Command of the VRS 2nd Krajina Corps to units involved in the
assault on the Bihać safe area concerning the fi ghting and the refusal of the ARBiH 5th Corps to surrender, and the lack of materiel for sustaining the assault
___________________
(...) In spite of the ultimatum of the VRS Command in the Bihać theatre to the
Muslims concerning their surrender until 20.00 hours last night, their futile resistance
continues with no chance of success. Even the commander of the UNPROFOR forces in
Bosnia&Herzegovina, General Michael Rose, stated that the UN and NATO would not
militarily intervene in the fi ghting at Bihać unless the civil population and UNPROFOR
troops were endangered, and that the Muslim government in Sarajevo needed to abandon
all illusions in that regard. (...)
Rear security is functioning with the well-known diffi culties. A considerable shortage
of munitions is felt, especially for larger calibres, and shortage of motor petrol. Th at can
considerably slow down the accomplishment of combat missions unless it is dealt with
in an adequate way.
On the basis of available facts we estimate that the enemy will keep on trying to hold
back our forces along the northwestern part of the front by decisive defence of its current
positions. (...)
