Sažetak
Armed clashes between the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Croatian Defence Council in June and October 1992 represent a sort of prelude to larger Croatian-Muslim conflicts. Although they are often mentioned in the context of an initial “Croatian plan” to create an ethnically “clean” territory, closer examination of the events and available documentation shows that these theses have no objective basis. The affirmation of the
widespread belief that only the Croatian side bears responsibility for negative actions isn’t based on the causal relationships that shaped the conflicts, but exclusively on the media – propagandistic activities of the Bosnian–Muslim side that, building its identity as the only victim of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the most part used the direct results of the conflict in order to present the Croatian side as its main cause, ignoring any facts that didn’t fit within this framework.
