The Trebava offensive started after the capture of Vis, which gave the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina motivation to go further. In the offensive, the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina tried to capture the peak of Duga Njiva, Skipovac, Zelinja, Paležnica, Sjenina and some other areas, and if they succeeded, they could put pressure on Modriča, just like when the Croatian Defence Council occupied Modriča in 1992 for a moment. In the end, they occupied only Skipovac, and could not break through because the Army of Republika Srpska fired artillery at them from peak of Duga Njiva, and they failed to capture the surrounding villages.[1][2]
