The attack on Stolice was an attempt by the ARBiH to control the positions of the VRS on Mountain Majevica. At first, the ARBiH suppressed the VRS, and a week later, the ARBiH attacked the VRS positions again, with which the VRS retaliated with a counterattack up to the top of Velika Jelica and returned part of the southern territory. The defense of Stolica and Banj brdo was carried out by the East Bosnian Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska.
Attack flow
At the beginning of 1994, fierce attacks on the VRS began . The Muslim concentration for the attack on the top of Stolica began in April, and on May 11 the attack on Stolica began. The Teočan brigade and the " Hajrudin Mesić" unit occupy Banj brdo, and the most difficult day for the defenders of Majevica was May 14 and 15, when Muslim forces attacked non-stop. However, on May 15 and 16, a Serbian counter-offensive pushed back the Muslim fighters from all the positions they had reached and inflicted great losses on the enemy. The ARBiH did not manage to capture the repeater in Stolice, but it caused damage and temporarily cut off the television connection in that area. The ARBiH suspends the offensive on May 20 and a week later the Muslim fighters again climb towards Banj brdo and Stolice, but parts of TG Majevica defeat them and pursue them to the top of Velika Jelica and return part of the southern territory that was lost in April and May.
