About the battle
The Doboj ethnic cleansing refers to war crimes, including murder, forced deportation, persecution and wanton destruction, committed against Bosniaks and Croats in the Doboj area by the Yugoslav People's Army and Serb paramilitary units from May until September 1992 during the Bosnian war. On 26 September 1997, Serb soldier Nikola Jorgić was found guilty by the Düsseldorf Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) on 11 counts of genocide involving the murder of 30 persons in the Doboj region, making it the first Bosnian Genocide prosecution. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) classified it as a crime against humanity and sentenced seven Serb officials.
Out of over 40,000 Bosniaks recorded in the municipality, only around a 1,000 remained after the war. According to the Research and Documentation Center (IDC), 2,323 people were killed or went missing in the Doboj municipality during the war. Among them were 322 Bosniak civilians and 86 Croat civilians.
