The enclaves were not recognized internationally but they became peace-keeping zones under U.N. supervision. The main areas were overrun by Croatian forces in 1995; a rump remained in existence in eastern Slavonia (Sremsko Baranjska Oblast) under UN administration until its peaceful re-incorporation into Croatia in 1998.
