First battle The first clashes in
Glina took place on June 26 of 1991. During these clashes, an infantry group of the
Croatian National Guard (ZNG) arrived in town while the
Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), held the entire region around Glina, according to the statements of
Dragan Vasiljković which were also indirectly confirmed by Croatian sources.
Second battle Exactly a month after the first battle, on July 26 of 1991, a group of 21
Kninjas under the command of
Dragan Vasiljković entered the city, and with them eight more volunteers. According to the statements of Vasiljković, they came to the reconnaissance and had no idea how many members of the Croatian forces were there, otherwise they would not have attacked the city if they had known that there were between 600 and 650. These volunteers managed to agree with the lieutenant of the
JNA, Bojan Drobnjak, that provide them with tank support in the event of an attack on Croatian positions. The attack on the Croatian positions began, but tank support was absent as Drobnjak and his tank were moved to a new position. However, he managed to fire 4 rockets at the positions of the Croatian forces. It probably had a psychological effect on the Croatian forces leaving their positions and going towards Jukinac, then Gornji and Donji Viduševac, and then completely leaving that territory. In the short-lived battle, two Serbian volunteers were killed, and one member of the
Knindža unit was wounded.
Glina remained part of the
SAO Krajina until August 6 of 1995 when it was captured during
Operation Storm. ==References==
