BOSANSKI SAMAC

 

According to the official results of the 1991 census, the Bosanski Samac district had 32,835 residents:

14,670 Croats (44,7%)
2,248 Moslems (6,8%)
13,619 Serbs (41,5%)
2,298 others (7,0%)

On April 16th 1992, the Serbian Army occupied some three-fourths of the district, while the northeast section of the district (Grebnice, Domaljevac) did not fall under occupation. The Serbian occupying authorities evicted the most of the surviving Croats and Moslems from the occupied section of the district, while some civilians were detained in the camps formed by Serbs in the village of Milosevac and in Bosanski Samac. Some captives were taken to Serbia. The Serbian Army fired various projectiles (earth-to-earth rockets, mortar shells, etc.) on the section of the district that was not under occupation, and bombarded it from the former YPA planes (May 1992). On October 30th 1992, more than 300 mortar shells were fired on the free section of the district. Since the beginning of the Serbian aggression on the Bosanski Samac district, many residential and farm buildings have been destroyed, as well as 90% of Croat and Moslem sacral, cultural and historic heritage.
