Case Black, also known as the Fifth Enemy Offensive in Yugoslav historiography and often identified with its final phase, the Battle of the Sutjeska, was a joint attack by the Axis. Taking place from 15 May to 16 June 1943, it aimed to destroy the main Yugoslav Partisan force, near the Sutjeska River in south-eastern Bosnia. The failure of the offensive marked a turning point for Yugoslavia during World War II. It was also the last major German-Italian joint operation against the partisans.
The operation immediately followed Case White which had failed in accomplishing the same objectives: to eliminate the central Partisan formations and capture their commander, Josip Broz Tito.

Perućica is one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe. It is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, near the border with Montenegro. It is part of the Sutjeska National Park.
The Perućica Forest Reserve is 6 kilometres long, 1–3 kilometres wide, and has an area of 1,400 hectares. It is a UNESCO recognized site. The forest has many trees that are 300 years old, and the primeval forest's vintage is stated to be 20,000 years. In some stretches the forest growth is almost impenetrable, and the forest can only be explored in the company of rangers.
The forest is known for its towering beech and spruce trees, as well as its exceptional biodiversity and untouched natural environment. One of its most striking features is the Skakavac Waterfall, which plunges approximately 75 meters into the forest valley. The waterfall is nestled beneath the towering Maglić peak, the highest mountain in Bosnia and Herzegovina at 2,386 meters. Perućica offers a rare glimpse into what Europe's forests looked like before large-scale human intervention.
