Tesanj

Written 08.12.2009. 12:54
According to the official results of the 1991 census, the Tesanj district had 48,390 residents:

8,952 Croats (18,5%)
34,938 Moslems (72,2%)
2,078 Serbs (6,4%)
1,422 others (2,9%)


The consequences of the Serbian aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992) have fallen heavily upon this district from the first day of the aggression. The Serbian forces occupied a minor section of the district area from which they evicted the non-Serb residents. The section of the district that was not under occupation was bombed from the former YPA planes on July
5th 1992.

In the early spring 1993, the Serbian forces sent the ultimatum to the residents of the district area that was not under occupation to move out in five days. The residents refused and repulsed the Serb forces from a large section of the district.

In the Serb attacks, as well as during the frequent shelling and subsequent combats many residential and farm buildings were destroyed, while the sacral and cultural heritage was severely damaged.
