The Operation "Lukavac '93" (in Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian: Operacija "Lukavac '93"; in Serbian Cyrillic: Операција "Лукавац '93") was carried out by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), commanded by the Lieutenant Ratko Mladić, against the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) during the Bosnian War. Their goal was to surround the cities of Sarajevo and Goražde, which partially failed, but they managed to re-capture many lost lands around the same places.
