Medak Pocket

The Medak Pocket was a confrontation between Croatian forces and the Yugoslav People's Army during the Croatian War of Independence in 1993. Located in Croatia, the pocket is a strategic area in the Dalmatian hinterland. Croatian forces launched a military operation to regain control of the territory, which had been occupied by Yugoslav troops. The conflict resulted in clashes, damage to infrastructure, and civilian displacement. The operation was significant as it marked Croatia’s efforts to regain control of its territory during the war, and it was closely monitored internationally for its impact on regional stability.
