Prilog proučavanju stradanja Bošnjaka i Hrvata Prijedora 1992. / A Contribution to the Study of the Suffering of Bosniaks and Croats of Prijedor in 1992

Abstract

The Serbian aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995, was marked with heavy sufferings of the non-Serb population, i.e. with genocide. The intensity and methods of its implementation depended on the demographic image on the field, that is to say on Serb plans towards the possible division of Bosnia and Herzegovina according to the national criterion. The possibility of realization depended on the organization and strength of the aggressor, but also of the defenders. The Bosnian Frontier region (Bosanska Krajina) is a significant example of the Serb genocide committed against Bosniaks and Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the example of Prijedor, the author presents his results in research of sufferings of the Bosniak and Croat population and proves the violent creation of the long term Serb predominance and demographic changes caused by genocide.
