Operation Neretva '93 was a Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) operation against the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) and Croatian Army in September 1993 and was launched in order to end the siege of the Bosniak part of Mostar surrounded by Croat forces and severely destroyed, and to recapture areas of Herzegovina, which were included in self-proclaimed Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia.[1] The operation was stopped by ARBiH authorities after it received the information about the incidents against civilians and POWs.

Grabovica and Uzdol

Around 60 Croat civilians, combatants and POWs were killed at the time relevant to the operation in Grabovica and Uzdol[2] as well as a number of Bosniak soldiers around Uzdol.[citation needed]

ARBiH commander Sefer Halilović was indicted by ICTY on the basis of superior criminal responsibility (Article 7(3) of the Statute of the Tribunal) and charged with one count of violation of the laws and customs of war (Article 3 – murder), and found not guilty.[3]
