SARAJEVO, April 9 (FENA) – The 26th anniversary of the establishment of the Territorial Defense of the Republic of BiH was marked today with laying of flowers and paying respects to the shahids and fallen soldiers at the Shahidi graveyard Kovači and at the Eternal Fire.
The Chairman of the Assembly of the Association for the Protection of the Name and the Preservation of the Tradition of the Territorial Defense (TD) of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Ismet Poljo told FENA that this organization was established in 1992 in order to provide resistance to the aggressor.
He added that the only legal way to provide resistance was to activate the TD of the Republic of BiH and that an order was issued then that all organized groups and individuals in the territory of BiH shall enter the TD to provide resistance.
"These were mostly citizens who were defending their homes, along with an active backup police force that provided initial input to organize the defense," Mr. Poljo explained.
Later, he added, from the Territorial Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina arose the Army of the Republic of BiH and then the Armed Forces of BiH.
He recalled that the territorial defense was first created in the 1960s when all the republics of former Yugoslavia formed the TDs, which had existed in continuity until 1992.
"Due to the disarmament orders, the territorial defense had to hand over their weapons to the Yugoslav People’s Army," Mr. Poljo said.
