The People's Defense of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia (Serbo-Croatian : Narodna Odbrana Zapadne Bosne , NOZB ) was a paramilitary unit founded and led by Fikret Abdić that fought in the Bosnian War during the Yugoslav Wars . It served as the de facto army of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia (APZB).

From 12 June 1992 to 5 August 1995,[5] the NOZB fought against the 5th Corps and Croatian forces with support from Republika Srpska and the Republic of Serbian Krajina . The Research and Documentation Center in Sarajevo established that the communities that were under siege – Bihać, Bosanska Krupa , Cazin and Velika Kladuša – 4,856 people were killed or went missing from 1991 to 1995.[6] The APZB was wiped out completely during the Operation Storm , decisive Croatian offensive in Republic of Croatia, and supported by ARBIH 5th corps in area of Bihać on 4th to 7th of August 1995.[7]
Operation Tiger 1994 [ edit ]
On 2 June 1994, the 5th Corps, under the command of Atif Dudaković ,[8] overran and seized the territory of Western Bosnia and Fikret Abdić fled to Zagreb for safety.[9] Around 40,000 Muslims loyal to Fikret Abdić fled to the Republic of Serbian Krajina.[10] The battle was a huge success for the ARBiH , which was able to rout Abdić's forces and manage to push the Serb forces from Bihać and abolish Western Bosnia temporarily.
Operation Spider [ edit ]
On 4 November 1994, commanded by Franko Simatović [11] [12] and Jovica Stanišić ,[11] [12] the Serbs counterattacked against the Bosnian forces, and ended in a Serb victory with the APZB being re-established. The APZB remained in existence until the fall of its key ally, the Republic of Serbian Krajina , and the subsequent end of the war.
In 2013, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued a decision that equated the rights of former soldiers of the NOZB with those of the members of the ARBiH and the HVO.[13]
