The Battle of Rosinjača was a battle fought for the forest south of Osijek during the Croatian War of Independence.
The reason for the attack was that these Croatian Army (HV) soldiers were positioned 700 meters west of the village of Tenja, where the Serb civilian population lived, and they posed a threat to them, as they often fired from the forest toward the village.
