History

Early history

In 1381, the name Bratunac is mentioned for the first time because of the direct road through Bratunac from Bosnia to Serbia. At the time, Bratunac was composed of five houses and a population of roughly 30 people. In 1927, Bratunac became an independent municipality for the first time.

20th Century

In 1948 Bratunac had a population of 5,033. (Source=Columbia-Lippincott Gazetteer)

Bosnian War

Systematic ethnic cleansing in 1992 and beyond uprooted the Bosniak population of Bratunac. Following this, Bosniak homes were looted of all valuables and then burned to the ground. Furthermore, everything and anything associated with Bosniaks was completely destroyed, as was anything and everything associated with Serbs in Srebrenica. According to the current data, 3,156 Bosniaks civilians were killed in these attacks. Fact|date=February 2007. 3,200 Serbs from the area were killed in the 1992-1995 war.Fact|date=December 2007 On July 12, 1992 Bosnian Army troops under the command of Naser Orić attacked the villages of Zalazje, Biljača, Sada and Zagoni, killing 69 Serb civilians, wounding 70, while 19 remain listed as missing.

During this time, Naser Oric and his men continuosly attacked Serb-inhabited villages leading to deaths of scores of innocent civilians; this brutality lasted until the Serb takeover of Srebrenica in 1995 [ [http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-wobrat0313,0,1615658.story Cycle of retaliation continues in Bratunac - Newsday.com ] ] .
