The Operation Vukovar '95, more known as the Vukovar dove (in Croatian: Vukovarska golubica) was a planned military-police operation of the Croatian Army in early November 1995 and in mid 1996. The operation was intended to militarily liberate the last remaining occupied part of Croatia after Operation Storm which at the time was the Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia. The operation was abandoned due to international community efforts that led to the establishment of the UN-led UNTAES temporary transitional administration over the region following the signing of the Erdut Agreement.
