This is much more complicated. For the HOS, defending Bosnia and Herzegovina was just a step in the resurrection of the Independent State of Croatia. That's why the HOS cooperated with the HVO and the ARBiH against the Serbian forces. "the HOS never fired a single bullet at the HVO during its existence" - yes, that's true, because "the HOS was absorbed into the HVO and the Armija BiH before the escalation of conflicts" between the HVO and the ARBiH, before the open war between the HVO and the ARBiH which started in October 1992. On the day when he was killed, Blaž Kraljević was in Mostar on a negotiations with the HVO commanders about the unification of the high commands of HOS, HVO, and ARBiH. There was no war between the HOS and the HVO in Herzegovina, or any other part of BiH before or after Kraljević's assassination. As for Paraga's order, he ordered the HOS troops to not participate in the Croat-Bosniak War.161.53.27.4  Al Capone
