According to
the official results of the 1991 census, the Zavidovici district
had 57,153 residents:
7,519 Croats
(13,2%)
34,341 Moslems (60,1%)
11,637 Serbs (20,4%)
3,656 others (6,3%)
During the Serbian aggression against Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992)
the northeastern sections of the Zavidovici district were occupied,
and from there the Serb forces shelled those sections that were
not under occupation. An unsuccessful attack of B-H Army soldiers
on the neighbouring district of Zepce was followed by several small
incidents in the Zavidovici district.
On November
4th 1993, B-H Army soldiers killed and massacred two Croat civilians
in the village of Viniste.
