According to
the official results of the 1991 census, the Odzak district had
30,651 residents:
16,598 Croats
(54,2%)
6,229 Moslems (20,3%)
6,084 Serbs (19,8%)
1,740 others (5,7%)
During the Serbian
aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992) the Odzak district
area came under attack (end of April 1992), during which time many
residential and farm buildings sustained a considerable material
damage. By the end of October 1992, a handful of poorly equipped
defenders were forced to retreat before the fierce attacks of the
Serbian armed forces. The Serbian aggressors occupied the entire
district area, the surviving civilian residents were evicted, while
some of them were imprisoned in notorious camps such as Pelagicevo
(in the village of Pelagicevo), Bare (in Doboj) and Luka (in Brcko).
