Modrica

Written 08.12.2009. 12:46
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the Modrica district had 35,413 residents:

9,660 Croats (27,3%)
10,442 Moslems (29,5%)
12,563 Serbs (35,5%)
2,748 others (7,7%)


During the Serbian aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992), the district area fell under the Serb attack (early May). All suburb developments were shelled. Residential and farm buildings sustained a considerable damage. All Croat and Moslem sacral institutions were destroyed. The surviving civilians were either evicted or imprisoned in one of the two camps (the male captives were detained in the building of the former local secondary school, while the female captives were detained in the "Bakulic" plant). Out of thirty-six prisoners who were detained in the building of the secondary school turned into a camp, only eleven survived, while the others were killed in various ways.

By the end of October, a handful of inadequately armed defenders were forced to withdraw from the district area before the stronger and better equipped Serbian forces.
