 In March 1992, Serb political members of the Konjic municipality adopted a decision on the Serbian territories, even though Serbs did not constitute the majority of the population of Konjic nor did it form part of the declared "Serb autonomous regions" set out on 21 November 1991.This was reportedly recognized by the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) on the basis of the number of Serb representatives in the Municipal Assembly.The SDS, in co-operation with the JNA, had also been active in arming the Serb population of the municipality and in training paramilitary units and militias.
