VRS and NOZB victory 1993 1994 1995 Operation Spider (Serbo-Croatian: Operacija Pauk, Операција Паук) were a series of military actions in northwestern Bosnia that began in November 1994 and continued until December 1994.

[citation needed] Fikret Abdić, the former president of the APZB, had already fled to Croatia (Republic of Serbian Krajina), where he stayed until his province was liberated and restored.

On October 2, their forces met and continued invading, but made little progress towards their goal was of capturing Bihać and liberating the APZB.

The invading armies continued to advance and made steady progress until November 3, 1994, when the forces of the ARBiH 5th Corps stopped them and pushed them back.

The plan was to force the enemy to leave the city voluntarily, in order to avoid street fighting and heavy losses.

South of the city, part of TG - 8 achieves success, pushing back the Allied fighters 3km near Šmrekovac.

Angry voices could be heard from the "international community", which in October, during the advance of the ARBiH, observed the situation with complete indifference.

On December 4, the National Defense Command announced that they had taken control of Drmaljevo on the border with Croatia, northwest of Kladuša, as well as the important Plazikur hill in the northeastern outskirts of the city.

[citation needed] While in the southern part of the "Bihać pocket" the Serbian counter-offensive is in victorious momentum (Operation Shield 94), in the north the preparation for the return of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia is resting.

The APZB had no strength to take on the Bosnian Army, and were completely overrun by the 5th Corps in just one day, with Velika Kladuša being taken when Operation Storm ended on August 7, 1995.
