Sažetak
Operation Neretva 93, conducted in September 1993, represented a wide military operation by the ABiH taken against the HVO forces in Herzegovina. The main purpose of the operation was the occupation of the Makljen area, the town of Prozor and an area of the village Vrdi. If that area had fallen into the ABiH hands, the western part of Mostar, controlled by the HVO, would have been brought in extremely unfavourable position. With the possession of the mentioned areas, the ABiH would allow the smooth traffic connection between their own 4th, 6th and 3rd corps, as well as the complete control of the hydro-energy systems in the valley of Neretva. This would also enable them to progress towards strategic areas from which it would have been possible to control parts of western Herzegovina. Apart from that, the successful implementation of Neretva 93 would mean the end of the resistance of HVO forces in central Bosnia. These forces have been surrounded by the ABiH since the beginning of July 1993, when the southern part of the municipality of Novi Travnik had fallen under the control of the ABiH.
