| Summary: | In April and May 1993 a number of United Nations resolutions established what became known as “safe areas” in the Bosnian cities of Srebrenica, Sarajevo, Tuzla, Žepa, Goražde, and Bihać. In these safe areas both local and refugee Bosniaks could live in relative security, protected by troops from the UN force known as UNPROFOR. Nevertheless, Serb forces often shelled the safe areas and frequently threatened and sometimes attacked the UN peacekeepers. Occasionally, Serb militias took the latter hostage in order to coerce the UN to accede to their demands., The most egregious breach of the safe areas began on July 11, 1995, when Serb forces attacked Srebrenica. A small city in eastern Bosnia, Srebrenica had been declared a safe area on April 16. |
