The Dutch battalion commander requested close air support in response to an attack on observation post “Foxtrot“, but his request was denied. UNPROFOR officials in Sarajevo and Zagreb also believed the Bosnian Serb Army did not intend to overrun the entire enclave, but only to take control of strategic areas in its southern part.
Bosnian Serb Army soldiers, upon entering the UN observation post “Foxtrot”, ordered its crew to abandon the post and surrender their arms.
Bosnian Serb Army took UN observation post “Uniform”.
Observation posts “Foxtrot” and “Uniform“ had fallen, the situation had grown very tense.
At no point during that meeting was there any discussion about the ongoing Bosnian Serb Army attack on Srebrenica nor was any assessment made that they were planning to overrun the enclaves.
The meeting concluded with a sense that if there were no breakthroughs on the peace-making front in the immediate future the UN would have to consider withdrawing from Bosnia.
