Vladimir Perić (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Перић; 28 December 1919 – 5/6 April 1945), best known by the nom de guerre Valter, was a Yugoslav Partisan commander in German-occupied Sarajevo during World War II.

"[3] NDH authorities, led by the Ustaše militia,[4] subsequently implemented genocidal policies against the Serb, Jewish and Romani population living within the borders of the new state.

[2] Later that year, he and other members of the party appealed for wealthy citizens of Sarajevo to provide food and money to the city's beleaguered Jewish community.

[8] That year, regional leaders named him secretary of the Sarajevo committee of the KPJ, giving him the task of reconstituting the party's organization in the city.

[2] In June 1944, Perić took on the role of directing the formation, training and deployment of Partisan strike groups (known as "fivesomes", or Petorke) operating in Sarajevo and its outskirts.

In early April, he visited the city's main post office and electrical generating plant to ensure that they had not been sabotaged by withdrawing German forces.

[11] On 9 April the KPJ formed a new local committee in Sarajevo, appointing new members to take the places left behind by Perić and other operatives killed while fighting the Germans in the previous week.
