The 1992 Yugoslav People's Army column incident in Sarajevo occurred on 3rd May 1992 in Dobrovoljačka Street (today, called Hamdije Kreševljakovića Street) when members of the Bosnian army (ARBiH) attacked a convoy of Yugoslav army (JNA) troops that was exiting the city according to the withdrawal agreement. Bosnian President Alija Izetbegović, his daughter Sabina, and a member of the Bosnian negotiating team, Zlatko Lagumdžija, had been seized by the JNA at Sarajevo airport the day before. They had just returned on a flight from failed peace negotiations in Lisbon. Earlier that day, the JNA had launched a failed attempt to occupy central Sarajevo. The soldiers were withdrawing from their surrounded JNA barracks in Sarajevo's old town district of Bistrik as part of what they thought was a truce and swap deal for Izetbegović. Their column also was loaded with ammunition and weapons that Serbian forces would use during their three-year siege of Sarajevo. The attack started with the convoy being separated when a car was driven into it. Then sporadic and disorganised fighting took place for several minutes in and around the convoy. Bosnian army commander Sefer Halilovic later stated, "our fighters and civilians acted spontaneously, they cut the convoy in half." Serb prosecutors stated that 42 JNA soldiers were killed in the attack. However, General Milutin Kukanjac, the commander of the JNA in Sarajevo, claimed that out of 215 military personnel, only six died in the attack. An investigation was opened by the Serbian Prosecutors Office. Two members of the State Presidency, Haris Silajdžić and Željko Komšić, claimed Serbia’s action breached the Rome Agreement and failed to seek the ICTY’s opinion before taking action and had "therefore breached international legal provisions". In 2003, The International Tribunal for Justice dismissed the case, stating that the actions of the ARBiH did not constitute a breach of law.
