  • Story Text: Bosnian government troops were heading for the Bosnian Serb-held town of Donji Vakuf on Friday (November 4) after a successful offensive on the strategic town of Kupres.

    Kupres, which has been under Bosnian Serb control since April 1992, fell on Thursday after a combined attack on the area by a predominantly Moslem government force and the Bosnian Croat Army.

    Some Bosnian government troops took up positions above Kupres at nearby Kupreska Vrata and were awaiting further orders on Friday.

    The victory at Kupres was the first example of Croat-Moslem military co-operation since the establishment of a federation between the two Bosnian factions earlier this year.
