Orasje

According to the official results of the 1991 census, the Orasje district had 28,201 residents:

21,234 Croats (75,3%)
1,900 Moslems (6,7%)
4,219 Serbs (15,0%)
848 others (3,0%)


During the Serbian aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992), the Orasje district area underwent the heavy mortar attacks (starting with April 19th 1992).

On April 29th 1992, the Serbian troops launched an infantry attack on the village of Vidovice, preceded by a fierce shelling. After several days of fierce struggles, a small unit of defenders had to retreat before the fierce attacks of Serbian forces. Out of twelve Croat civilians, who remained in the village, seven were massacred.

May 2nd 1992, the defenders liberated the village in a strong counterattack and found the bodies of murdered civilians.

On May 4th 1992, the Serbian forces moved beyond the Croat defensive system and occupied the village. 30 defenders were either killed or disappeared. In the period between October 21st and 23rd the defenders undertook another fierce military campaign and liberated the village of Vidovice.

Thousands of shells and thirty earth-to-earth rockets "LUNA" were fired on the district area.

The fierce artillery attacks were launched on the district area throughout 1993 and in the first half of 1994. Residential and farm buildings sustained an enormous damage.
