Written 08.12.2009. 12:53
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the Sanski Most district had 60,119 residents:

4,267 Croats (7,1%)
28,285 Moslems (47,2%)
25,372 Serbs (42,2%)
2,195 others (3,7%)

During the Serbian aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992) the Sanski Most district area was occupied (May 1992) by the Serbian forces and the former YPA soldiers.

On May 28th 1992, the occupying forces attacked the village of Vrhpolje. This attack was followed by further attacks on the Moslem civilian villagers of Hrustovo, Pudin Han, Kijevci, Kijevo and Tomina.

The attacks on Croat civilian residents started in June (the villages of Sasina, Skrljevita, Ovanjska, Batkovci) and they culminated on July 24th 1992 when thirteen civilians were killed and massacred in the village of Stara Rijeka.

On November 2nd 1992 the Serbian forces executed nine Croat civilians.

The surviving non-Serb civilian residents were mostly evicted or imprisoned in the camps Krings and Betonirka in Sanski Most, and in Manjaca.

Many residential and farm buildings were either damaged or destroyed. The civilian property of the evicted residents was looted, confiscated or destroyed, as well as the entire Croat and Moslem sacral, cultural and historic heritage.
