Gacko district had 10,844 residents:
29 Croats (0,3%)
3,830 Moslems (35,3%)
6,765 Serbs (62,4%)
220 others (2,0%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
Serbs occupied the rural area of the district in late April.
The surviving Moslem population was either deported to one of
many Serb camps (e.g. Kalinovik, Morinje) or evicted.
Many residential and farm buildings were either damaged or
destroyed, along with the entire Moslem sacral and cultural
heritage.
On June 17th 1992, the Serbian aggressor launched the
artillery attack on non-Serb civilians and their properties.
On June 18th 1992, Serbian soldiers killed more than 30 Moslem
civilian residents of Gacko. The surviving non-Serb population
was evicted in the period between July 17th and August 23rd
1992.
GLAMOC
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Glamoc district had 12,421 residents:
184 Croats (1,5%)
2,243 Moslems (18,1%)
9,849 Serbs (79,3%)
145 others (1,1%)
During the Serbian aggression on Croatia (1991), the aggressor
turned the district area into one of its logistic centres.
On April 13th 1991, the Serbian Army attacked the Croat
residents of the Livno district, during which time the Glamoc
district also came under attack. Alike other districts where
Serbs comprised majority or occupied them with the abundant
help by the YPA, the non-Serb residents in the Glamoc district
experienced all horrors of war.
The first killings of non-Serb population occurred on May 30th
1992, when four civilians were killed in the town of Glamoc,
followed by dozens of other murders. The surviving non-Serb
population was maltreated, looted, imprisoned and/or evicted.
150 civilians were imprisoned in the Glamoc district jail for
three months. Many Croat and Muslim owned residential and farm
buildings were either damaged or destroyed. The entire Croat
and Moslem sacral, cultural and historic heritage was
destroyed.
GORAZDE
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Gorazde district had 37,505 residents:
83 Croats (0,2%)
26,316 Moslems (70,2%)
9,844 Serbs (26,2%)
1,262 others (3,4%)
The residents of this district experienced the full scope of
brutality of the Serbian aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina
(1992). Hundreds of killed and imprisoned and thousands of
evicted Moslems prompted the UN Security Council to proclaim
the town "the zone under UN protection".
In May 1994, the Serbian aggressor attacked the Gorazde
district and caused the enormous material damage, while the
surviving civilians took shelter in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian
areas that were not under occupation, or in the town of
Gorazde.
GORNJI VAKUF / USKOPLJE
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Gornji Vakuf district had 25,130 residents:
10,709 Croats (42,6%)
14,086 Moslems (56,1%)
106 Serbs (0,4%)
229 others (0,9%)
Following the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
a large number of Moslem refugees from the neighbouring
district of Donji Vakuf, and other districts in northwestern
Bosnia, took shelter in the Gornji Vakuf district.
Serbian tank and artillery attacks from the directions of
Siver and Vukosavsko Polje (August 15th and September 26th
1992) caused a considerable material damage.

Gracanica district had 59,050 residents:
135 Croats (0,2%)
42,628 Moslems (72,2%)

Gradacac district had 56,378 residents:
8,521 Croats (15,1%)

11,184 Serbs (19,8%)
2,752 others (4,9%)
Since the beginning of the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-
Herzegovina (1992), the district area has been attacked daily
from different heavy artillery weapons. Croat and Moslem
defenders prevented the occupation of the town of Gradacac and
its vicinity.
During the military clashes, many residential and farm
buildings were destroyed. The district infrastructure
sustained considerable damage. The entire Croat and Moslem
sacral, cultural and historic heritage was destroyed. Many
deaths of soldiers and civilians of Croat or Moslem
nationality have been registered in this district.
GRUDE
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Grude district had 15,976 residents:
15,939 Croats (99,8%)
4 Moslems (0,0%)
8 Serbs (0,1%)
25 others (0,1%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
the former YPA air force repeatedly attacked the district
area. During the air raids on April 22nd and May 8th 1992,
several residential and farm buildings were damaged.
On April 8th 1992, the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) was
constituted in Grude, as the supreme defence authority of the
Croatian people in the Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia (HZ
H-B). On May 15th 1992, HZ H-B became the executive authority
in HZ H-B, and on June 13th 1992, it brought about the
following decision: "The responsibilities of the executive
authority within the rights and obligations of the district
shall be executed by the District Croatian Defence Council
(articles 1 and 2 of the Statutory Decree).
HAN PIJESAK
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the Han
Pijesak district had 6,346 residents:
7 Croats (0,1%)
2,544 Moslems (40,1%)
3,699 Serbs (58,3%)
96 others (1,5%)
Immediately after the beginning of the Serbian aggression on
Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992), armed Serbs took control over the
district area, backed up by the former YPA forces. The fate of
the non-Serb population (mostly Moslems) or their property has
yet been unknown.
The district area was turned into a logistic centre from which
the Serb forces repeatedly attacked the town of Zepa.
JABLANICA
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Jablanica district had 12,664 residents:
2,253 Croats (17,8%)
9,136 Moslems (72,1%)
504 Serbs (4,0%)
671 others (6,1%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
there were no armed conflicts in the district area, and for
that reason a large number of Moslem refugees (cca 25,000)
from eastern Bosnia (Foca, Gorazde) poured into this district,
fleeing from the Serb occupier.
JAJCE
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Jajce district had 44,903 residents:
15,781 Croats (35,1%)
17,400 Moslems (38,8%)
8,684 Serbs (19,3%)
3,038 others (6,8%)
Serbs and YPA soldiers carried out the first armed act of
aggression on the district area on March 23rd 1992. This
attack was followed by the attacks on March 26th and early
April 1992. On April 16th 1992 followed the Serbian attack on
the village of Jezero. On May 27th 1992, the Serbian artillery
attacks were launched on the town of Jajce, and on August 12th
the air raid was carried out, during which time the town was
heavily bombed. The B-H Army and the HVO joint forces defended
the town of Jajce and the sections of the district that were
not under occupation from the Serb aggression.
Thousands of residential and farm buildings were destroyed as
well as hundreds of farms and industrial plants. Almost the
entire historic and cultural heritage by which Jajce has
always distinguished itself in the world were destroyed, as
well as all mosques and Catholic churches. As yet
unestablished number of Croat and Moslem civilians remained in
the town of Jajce after the Serb occupation, some of them were
arrested and imprisoned in the "Jajce" hotel at the Pliva
Lakes. Thirty imprisoned civilians were killed and their
bodies were disposed of in the Pliva River. Many civilians
were taken to the area called "Misja ravan", where they were
killed (mostly by knife) and thrown into a nearby cave.
KAKANJ
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kakanj district had 55,857 residents:
16,625 Croats (29,8%)
30,445 Moslems (54,5%)
4,937 Serbs (8,8%)
3,850 others (6,9%)
The district area was spared from the direct Serbian
aggression, however it served as a shelter for thousands of
Moslem refugees from the occupied districts by the Drina
River.
KALESIJA
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kalesija district had 41,795 residents:
33 Croats (0,1%)
33,226 Moslems (79,5%)
7,669 Serbs (18,3%)
867 others (2,1%)
At the end of May 1992, Serbs attacked and occupied the
Kalesija district area, backed up by the former YPA. The
surviving Moslem civilian residents were either evicted or
imprisoned in one of several camps where they were left at
mercy of the Serb aggressor. The imprisoned men were executed
in the camp in the village of Osmak. There have been no data
about the fate of the property and estates owned by non-Serb
civilians, however it is presumed that all Islamic sacral
institutions were destroyed.
KALINOVIK
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kalinovik district had 4,657 residents:
18 Croats (0,4%)
1,726 Moslems (37,1%)
2,821 Serbs (60,6%)
92 others (1,9%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
the entire district area was occupied by the Serbian Army, and
the few civilians (mostly Moslems) were either evicted or
imprisoned in one of two camps (the former primary school
"Miladin Radojevic" and the camp called "Barutni magacin"),
established by Serbs in this district area. The Serbian
occupying authorities carried out several mass killings of
local civilians:
August 2nd 1992 - eight Moslem civilians were tied and taken
from the "Barutni magacin" camp, their bodies were later found
mutilated on the Rogoj Mountain (north of the town of
Kalinovik);
August 5th 1992 - twenty-three Moslem civilians were taken
from the "Barutni magacin" camp, they were executed by firing
squad in the village of Tarine, and then they were set on fire
in a shed. Only one person out of twenty-three managed to get
out of flames and survive;
August 5th 1992 - fourteen Moslems were taken from the
"Barutni magacin" camp and their whereabouts has yet been
unknown;
August 1st 1992 - twelve girls (12 to 19 years of age) were
taken from the local primary school turned into a camp and
their fate has yet been unknown.
KISELJAK
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kiseljak district had 24,081 residents:
12,441 Croats (51,7%)
9,843 Moslems (40,9%)
747 Serbs (3,1%)
1050 others (4,3%)
Although the Kiseljak district area is near Sarajevo (which
has fallen the victim of the fiercest aggression since April
1992), it has been spared any military conflicts. Since it was
an 'oasis of peace' in the boiling Bosnia-Herzegovina, it
served as a maintenance and transit centre of the civilian
residents of Sarajevo.
KLADANJ
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kladanj district had 16,028 residents:
38 Croats (0,2%)
11,747 Moslems (73,3%)
3,833 Serbs (23,9%)
410 others (2,6%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
Serbs occupied certain sections of the district. In the
comprehensive action in June/July 1993, B-H Army soldiers
liberated the occupied sections of the district.
KLJUC
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kljuc district had 37,233 residents:
336 Croats (0,9%)
17,714 Moslems (47,6%)
18,438 Serbs (49,5%)
745 others (2,0%)
During the Serbian aggression on Croatia (1991) many Serbs
from the Kljuc district participated in the aggression.
The refugees from the Slunj district are going to remember
this district by evil because they were intercepted by members
of the B-H militia (mostly local Serbs, and members of the
irregular Martic's militia) in the town of Kljuc. A large
group of men were separated from the refugee convoy and taken
to the "KPD Stara Gradiska camp". In the beginning of the
Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992), local Serbs
gathered in the Kljuc section of the Serbian Democratic Party
took over the entire control in the district by the end of
April 1992, backed up by the YPA, which was followed by many
calls to Moslems to surrender their arms. When Moslems
surrendered their arms, Serbs would attack their villages and
towns.
On May 24th 1992, Serbs killed a large group of Moslem
civilians from the village of Velagici. New mass murders
followed, and on July 10th 1992, some 300 men were taken from
the village of Biljani. There has been no trace of them since
that time.
The non-Serb owned civilian property was either systematically
looted or destroyed, and the surviving civilians were either
evicted or deported to the Manjaca camp. The entire sacral,
cultural and historic heritage was either severely damaged or
destroyed in 1992 and 1993.
KONJIC
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Konjic district had 43,636 residents:
11,354 Croats (26,0%)
23,791 Moslems (54,5%)
6,645 Serbs (15,2%)
1,846 others (4,3%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
the district area was first attacked on April 20th 1992.
KOTOR VAROS
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kotor Varos district had 36,670 residents:
10,640 Croats (29,0%)
11,161 Moslems (30,4%)
13,986 Serbs (38,1%)
883 others (2,5%)
On June 11th 1992, the former YU-Army Knin and Banja Luka
Corps and armed local Serbs - members of the Serbian
Democratic Party - occupied Kotor Varos, after which time the
Croat and Moslem civilians were arrested and deported in one
of four newly formed camps (the building of the Stari Sud (Old
Courthouse), Pilana (the Sawmill), a secondary school, and the
camp in the village of Moslovare).
June 12th 1992, the village of Hrvacani was razed to the
ground by heavy artillery;
June 14th 1992, more than ten Croat and Moslem civilians were
killed in Kotor Varos;
June 25th 1992, six civilians were brutally murdered in the
Kotor-Kukavice suburb development, several civilians were
killed on the bridge over the Vrbanja River and their bodies
were thrown in the Vrbanja River. Several men sustained
injuries by an excavator near the "Mladost" football stadium,
after which time the bloodhounds were set on them and tore
them to pieces. The number of the dead Croats and Moslems
reached 30 that day. On the same day, near the hospital, Serbs
shot a group of civilians whom they had previously "dragged"
out of their flats.
There are at least two mass graves in the district area (in
the Donji Varos suburb development - at the cemetery, and in
the village of Vrbanci - by the road).
The former YPA planes systematically bombed the villages of
Vecici, Visevice, and Sokoline in the period between June and
September 1992.
The village of Sokoline was occupied in early October 1992,
after a long resistance to the Serb aggressor.
The surviving non-Serb population (Croats and Moslems) were
evicted from the district area, while more than 200 men were
deported to Serbian camps.
The entire Croat and Moslem sacral, cultural and historic
heritage was destroyed.
KRESEVO
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Kresevo district had 6,699 residents:
4,738 Croats (70,7%)
1,527 Moslems (22,8%)
33 Serbs (0,5%)
401 others (6,0%)
The war spread to the district area in June 1993, and since
that time the civilians have faced the general lack of
foodstuffs, mitigated only by an occasional humanitarian
relief.
KUPRES
There are no valid data of the 1991 census for the Kupres
district area.
The Serbian attack on the Kupres district and Kupres plateau
was exceptionally well planned and organised. In summer of
1991, when YPA soldiers camped on the Kupres plateau, they
secretly armed local Serbs, who in turn occupied the section
of the district called Kupreska vrata (Kupres gate), in a
blitz attack in April 1992. In this way one of the most
important strategic points in Bosnia-Herzegovina was occupied.
The former YPA tanks were rejected by the defenders of Kupres
for a while, who in this manner enabled to the majority of the
district's population (Croats and Moslems) to find shelter in
the neighbouring districts of Bugojno and Tomislavgrad.
April 10th 1992, soldiers of the two armoured corps of the
former YPA - the Knin Corps and the Banjaluka Corps - took
reprisals against all non-Serb residents and destroyed their
property. A handful of Kupres defenders were crushed (they
were either killed or captured and deported in the Knin camp),
and only few of them managed to withdraw. The villages in the
Kupres district (Rasticevo, Zloselo, and Osmanlije) were
demolished and burnt down, and a number of their villagers
were immediately killed, while few of them ended up in the
Knin prison.
Many residential and farm buildings were either damaged or
destroyed, as well as the entire Croat sacral, cultural and
historic heritage.
LAKTASI
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Laktasi district had 29,910 residents:
2,584 Croats (8,6%)
506 Moslems (1,7%)
24,438 Serbs (81,7%)
2,382 others (8,0%)
During the Serbian aggression on Croatia (1991), the district
served as a logistic centre, and the military air base was the
starting point for the YPA planes' military actions,
bombardments of the western Slavonian villages and towns
(Novska, Nova Gradiska, Pakrac, Lipik, Pozega, Daruvar,
Grubisno Polje, Virovitica...)
The local Serb residents took the control over the Laktasi
district in March 1992, during the Serbian aggression on
Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992). Although far from the zones of war
conflicts, the non-Serb civilian residents were either evicted
or imprisoned in the camps (Manjaca, Mali Logor in Banja Luka,
etc.), while several civilians were killed.
Prior to eviction, the non-Serb civilian residents were forced
to "give away" all of their personal and real estate to the
Serb occupying authorities.
The entire non-Serb sacral and cultural heritage was
destroyed.
LIVNO
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Livno district had 39,526 residents:
28,456 Croats (72,0%)
5,927 Moslems (15,0%)
3,782 Serbs (9,6%)
1,361 others (3,4%)
The Serb and YPA forces occupied the Kupres district in April
1992, stirring the fear of the open Serbian aggression on
Bosnia-Herzegovina among the residents of the Livno district.
The first fierce attack on the part of the Serbs happened on
April 17th from the direction of Glamoc, and the general
attack started on April 23rd 1992. A handful of defenders
successfully repelled both attacks, and since that time Serbs
have been shelling the district area from the long range heavy
artillery.
The villagers of Celebic, Kovacic and Strupnic had to abandon
their homes. All buildings in the village of Celebic and
partly in the village of Kovacic were totally destroyed.
A large number of refugees from the occupied parts of Bosnia-
Herzegovina (Glamoc, Sarajevo, Travnik, Bugojno, Jajce,
Prijedor and Banja Luka) found shelter in the district area.
LOPARE
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Lopare district had 32,400 residents:
1,259 Croats (3,9%)
12,225 Moslems (37,7%)
17,995 Serbs (55,5%)
921 others (2,9%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992),
the entire district area was occupied, and the surviving
civilian residents of Croat and Moslem nationality were either
evicted or imprisoned in the Batkovic camp near Bijeljina.
The non-Serb owned civilian property was confiscated and/or
destroyed. The entire non-Serb sacral and cultural heritage
was severely damaged and/or destroyed.
LUKAVAC
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the
Lukavac district had 56,830 residents:
2,132 Croats (3,8%)
37,886 Moslems (66,7%)
12,281 Serbs (21,6%)
4,531 others (7,9%)
During the Serbian aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992) the
Serbian Army occupied about two-thirds of the district area
west of the town of Lukavac. The surviving non-Serb civilians
were either evicted or deported to one of the camps on the
Ozren Mountain.
The non-Serb civilian property in the occupied area was
looted, confiscated or destroyed.
The district area that was not under occupation underwent
numerous shellings and bombardments from the long range arms
in 1992, 1993, and 1994. Many residential and farm buildings
were either considerably damaged or destroyed.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Ethnic cleansing
TIME AND PLACE: Duvno (Tomislavgrad), April 3 - June 27, 1993
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Before April 3, 1992 when the war broke out in the region
of the Duvno (Tomislavgrad) parish, the total number of Christian Orthodox Serbs
was 558 in 120 households.
Coinciding with the attack on the Serbian population of the village of
Malovan near Kupres of March 3, harassment of Serbs commenced in Duvno, including
ransacking and robbing of property, taking away and detention at the police
headquarters. On April 10, 1992, which was the Statehood Day of the quisling
Independent State of Croatia, a first Serb, Jovan Vazic from Rascani, was killed
and a camp for Serbs established in Duvno where in the period from April 3, 1992
to June 29, 1993 10 Serbs were killed in total, as follows:
1) Goran, Nikola, Milisav (1964)
2) Pero Vazic
3) Milorad, Bogoljub, Andrijasevic (1958)
4) Simo Milisav (1954)
5) Jovo, Djura, Vazic (1935)
6) Slobodan, Sima, Karan (1959)
7) Bozo, Milan, Karan (1937)
8) Ruza Cvijetic (1911)
9) Vasilija Velimir (1910) and
10) Milisav, Radovan, Branislav (1969)
All the Serbs who had not escaped the Croat persecution were detained in the
camp and subjected to the most severe treatment which lasted until June 29, 1993
when the last Serb according to the available data was expelled from their
territory.
Their entire property was plundered.
Thus the genocide of the Serbian people was completed there which had begun
at the time of the Independent State of Croatia 1941-1945.
When the Second World War broke out, 40% of the population in the region was
Serbian, whereas after the Second World War their number was reduced to merely
2%, as a consequence of a massive genocide of the Serbian people.
INDICATIONS CONCERNING PERPETRATORS: Local authorities of Tomislavgrad.
EVIDENCE: The report by Branko Zeleni, priest of the Serbian Orthodox
Church.
