ARBiH corps and brigade anniversary commemorations

Overview

In September and October 2026, various regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina held commemorations to mark the 34th anniversary of the formation of different corps and brigades within the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH).

In Vogošća, events organized by the ‘Zlatni ljiljani i Zlatna policijska značka’ Association honored the First Corps, established on September 1, 1992, to defend Sarajevo during its 1,425-day siege. At its peak in 1995, the corps reached approximately 40,500 members, including Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats. In Sarajevo’s Stari Grad municipality, ceremonies included flag-raising at Bijela Tabija and the laying of flowers at central monuments. Member of the Presidency Željko Komšić attended, emphasizing the importance of preserving a ‘culture of remembrance’ for future generations.

In Tuzla Canton, a multi-day program commemorated the 2nd Corps, formed on September 29, 1992. The program included visits to battlefields, monuments, and cemeteries, concluding with a formal academy at the Bosnian Cultural Center. Officials, including Tuzla Canton Prime Minister Irfan Halilagić and Minister for Veterans Affairs Senada Dizdarević, highlighted the corps’ historical role in defending northeastern Bosnia and the need to educate younger generations. Halilagić also noted ongoing government support for veterans' families through scholarships and employment programs.

In October, commemorations were held in Ključ to mark the 34th anniversary of the Fifth Corps, established on October 21, 1992. Based in Bihać, the unit defended the Bihać pocket during a 1,201-day siege. Notable operations included ‘Sana 95’, which led to the liberation of several areas, including Velika Kladuša and Ključ.
