    The Surrender of the 51st Brigade (Serbo-Croatian language: Predaja 51. brigade) was the surrender of the 51st Brigade of the 18th Western Slavonian Corps [sr] of the Serbian Army of Krajina to Croatia during Operation Flash.[1][2] The surrender marked the end of Operation Flash and the recapture of 558 km2 (215 sq mi) of Western Slavonia. Lieutenant Colonel Stevo Harambašić, the commanding officer of the 51st Brigade, was ordered by Milan Babić to surrender 7,000 troops and civilians. The surrender was signed on 3 May 1995, and around 600 troops, including Harambašić, surrendered immediately. The rest remained in the Psunj mountain east and southeast of Pakrac.[3] The surrender was accepted by Pakrac chief of police, Nikola Ivkanec.[4]
