According to
the official results of the 1991 census, the Kresevo district had
6,699 residents:
4,738 Croats
(70,7%)
1,527 Moslems (22,8%)
33 Serbs (0,5%)
401 others (6,0%)
The war spread to the district area in June 1993, and since that
time the civilians have faced the general lack of foodstuffs, mitigated
only by an occasional humanitarian relief.
June 17th 1993,
B-H Army soldiers attacked the district area from the direction
of Fojnica, during which time twenty HVO soldiers were killed, while
another six were captured.
June 20th 1993,
B-H Army soldiers shelled the town. As the result of Moslem attacks
some fifty HVO soldiers were killed, and the Croat residents were
evicted from seven villages in the northern part of the district:
Poljani, Kojsina, Vranci, Crnici, Ratkovici, Bjelavici and Alagici.
The surviving population continued to live in general insecurity
and uncertainty.
