Izzy had a compliant POTUS with whom he could rely on for support.

yeah, butt hen abdic understood he could increase his fortunes money-wise by brokering a peace deal among the three sides. That...and he was cutting into Izzies action of extortion, ransom payoffs, bribes for drug, Wpns and Human Trafficking.

The Serbs and Croats left him alone and vice versa. Izzy had the 5th Corps, if memory serves me right, sole design is to take down Abdic and kill off his supporters.

When that did not go according to plan (they thought they could be bought or run away), they were in for a fight. The muslim corps did not expect the VRS so willingly fight together with him.

The Serbs, Croats and Abdic muslims wanted to coexist and for the most part, that region did not have much “real” action til late in the war. That is when the Croats figured they’d move in to take territory from them all.

Mindful that the Bihac pocket was all but stamped out with the VRS in rear support, the HVO lent some arty and logistical support. We know how the Fall of 1995 transpired…..
