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. However, in time the conflicts arose between Moslems and Croats, and escalated into the intensive military conflicts.

In the beginning of February 1993, B-H Army soldiers launched an attack on the Croat populated villages in the northwest section of the district. They evicted the Croat civilians and destroyed their property.

On April 18th 1993, the first shell was fired on the town of Kiseljak (the district centre) and killed one person.

On April 23rd 1993, two Croat civilians were killed in the village of Orahovo.

In May and June 1993 twenty-three persons were killed, and by the beginning of September 1993, the number of casualties amounted to 121.

In mid-September 1993, approximately 11,000 refugees from Sarajevo, Jajce, Visoko, Breza and Podlugovi were located in the town of Kiseljak, besides the resident civilians. The town was continuously shelled from the B-H Army positions in Visoko, Tarcin and from the Inc Mountain. By the beginning of November, 7,500 Croat refugees from Vares arrived in Kiseljak.

The relative peace was achieved in the district in the beginning of May 1994, when the B-H Federation Agreement was signed in Vienna, May 8th 1994.
