Die militärischen Handlungsschemata der ... - Dr. Alois Mock

„I do not know anything about this. I just can say that in 1992 and 1993 the ABiH did
not have anything.“
• How big was the possibility of taking Banja Luka in October 1995?
„As a soldier I of course would have taken Banja Luka then. But not just in this case
the politicians betrayed the Bosnian people.“
• How did the the Muslim-Croat-war end in 1994?
„In 1993 and the beginning of 1994 the Bosnian army could have marched through
the Herzegovina to the Adriatc sea militarily - till Ploce and Mostar, Capljina, Stolac
and Neum. If they would have been allowed by the Bosnian government. The
government stopped the army. The US would not have told the ABiH to stop their
offensive towards the Adriatic sea.“
• Was there a deal to exchange of the Eastern Bosnian enclaves against the
Sarajevo suburbs?
„Haris Silajdzic already had the idea of exchanging Srebrenica and Zepa against the
Sarajevo-suburbs Vogosca and Ilidza - he mentioned it the first time in the beginning
of 1993 in Geneva.“
• How would you analyse the Split-agreement July 1995?
„The Split-agreement which included 24 articles was very negative for the Bosnian
government because it institutionalized and legalized the Croatian aggression on
Bosnia because of the Croatian plan fot the ‚Oluja‘ 1995-offensive.“
• Was there a joint Muslim-Croatian-offensive in Western Bosnia in
September - October 1995 at all?
„During the joint Muslim-Croatian-offensive in Western Bosnia in September/October
1995 both armies had fighting sectors on their own. The policy of Izetbegovic and
Silajdzic was a real catastrophe at that time. It even came to local fights between
Muslim and Croatian forces during the offensive. For example had the Muslim forces
order to cut off the Croatian units in their back at Donji Vakuf in October 1995. Infact
the Croats and the Serbs usually worked together during the whole war against the
Bosnian Muslims.“
• How did the actual situation develop before Banja Luka in October 1995?
„In October 1995 the HV could not have taken Banja Luka. The ABiH could have
taken Prijedor, Bosanski Novi and Banja Luka but Izetbegovic did not want to
because of political reasons. In October Serbian busses already waited in Banja
