The Attack on Piperi was an attack carried out by ARBiH and HOS soldiers against a couple of Serbian soldiers in the village of Piperi. The attack was heavy, fighting hand to hand. The result was clear, as ARBiH and HOS failed to capture the village and retreated.[1][2]
Out of all the villages in 1992, Piperi suffered the most severe blow during the month of August, when the HOS soldiers, arrived from Herzegovina and Croatia, dressed in black uniforms with Ustasha insignia, penetrated to the hamlet of Antić, where a hand-to-hand fight took place. The fire broke out from the detonations. Serbian fighters dealt with a many times superior enemy, inflicting huge losses on them. The insane intentions of the Croatian soldiers to "move the borders of Catholicism to the Drina" were destroyed for "forever" here in Antići. Dozens of corpses of black shirts were left in the clearings, as a warning to all those who dare to attack Serbian land. Fighters of Commander Rista Radić, Military Police, Scouts and the Sava Tigra group defended the people of Piper from the planned pogrom.[2][3]
The northern front will be opened a little later. In 1991, the leadership of SDA Čelić, Koraj and Brnjik signed their loyalty to the authorities in Lopare, and joint, nationally mixed militia patrols were formed in these villages. In fact, when leaving a meeting in Lopara, SDA leaders Ejub Grabus, Hariz Gačević, Dževdet Gačević and Ekrem Agić took Serbian flags with them, which they placed on local community buildings. And while they were agreeing to all the proposed solutions at the negotiations, they were secretly preparing for a war. Only after the entry of Serbian units into Koraj were many bunkers, underground canals and warehouses with food, medical equipment and ammunition discovered, evidence that preparations for war had been made here for years.[1]
