About this picture
Serbian Orthodox Cemetery in Bratunac

Bratunac ( Serbian - Cyrillic Братунац ) is a city in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina . It is located about ten kilometers from Srebrenica near the Drina and the border with Serbia . Bratunac has belonged to the Republika Srpska since the Bosnian War .

history

The city was first mentioned in 1381 as a transit point between Bosnia and Serbia. At that time the village consisted of five houses with 30 inhabitants. The economic development begins in 1886 with the tobacco trade . The bridge between Bosnia and Serbia, which also functions as a border crossing, was built in 1926. In 1927 Bratunac became the town's seat for the first time.

population

The population composition has undergone major changes since 1991. This is due to the ethnic cleansing carried out by the army of the Republika Srpska . Many Bosniaks' houses were destroyed in the war, so few have returned to Bratunac in recent years. The number of returning Bosniaks is steadily increasing, not least thanks to the help of international organizations.

In the 1991 census, 21,535 inhabitants (64.05%) identified themselves as Bosniaks and 11,475 (34.13%) as Serbs . 532 residents (1.16%) stated other affiliations.

Until the 2013 census, the total population of Bratunac had fallen by around a third to 21,600 due to the war.
