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.
