Footnote: The Patriotic League was founded by Sefer Halilovic and his associates on June 10, 1991, with the aim of enrolling all persons loyal to the idea of an independent Bosnia and Herzegovina. The League participated in preparing and resisting the Serbian paramilitary units as well as the JNA. The contribution made by this formation to the defense of the city of Sarajevo and the prevention of crimes against the citizens of Sarajevo are very significant. The Patriotic League legally ceased to exist in 1992 with the establishment of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
