Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper is the concentration camps in the municipality of Zvornik, established after its occupation in April 1992 by Serbian political and military structures during the 1992-1995 war against Bosnian society and the state. Concentration camps were established with the aim of creating an ethnically homogeneous territory along the Drina River, which was one of the main goals in the great state conception of Serbian ethno-territorial expansionism, which was ultimately to end with the creation of the “Greater Serbia”. The number, location and manner in which the concentration camps for the Bosniak civilian population in the Zvornik municipality functioned in 1992 indicate the intention to organize, plan and systematically destroy the Bosniak national, ethnic and religious group as such.
