In the 1990s, a sports center and a large cultural complex were built in the center of the village. The local football club FK Boksit Milići (now FK Milići ) became champions of the first division of the Republika Srpska in 1996 and 2000 .

During the war in Bosnia , in connection with the Srebrenica massacre , there were also shootings in the municipality of Milići. After the war, mass graves were discovered especially around Nova Kasaba.
