After the Army of Republika Srpska captured Srebrenica, they proceeded to conquer the Žepa enclave. After forcibly relocating more than 4,000 civilians from the Žepa enclave, on July 27, 1995, the VRS forced Bosniak representatives from Žepa to sign a capitulation agreement providing for the surrender of Army of BiH soldiers and other ‘military-capable population’ to the VRS.
