Summary/Abstract: In this contribution, on the basis of the Slavonski Brod local newspapers, relevant literature, and accessible documentation, the author provides an overview of the events that took place in the broader Slavonski Brod area in 1991. This year was in many ways of crucial importance for the further development of political and public security conditions in this area, most of all because it was in this very year that Slavonski Brod and its surroundings encountered the state of war for the first time. Special attention is paid to the changes of the public security situation in the Slavonski Brod area, as well as to the activities of the municipal authorities (Presidency of the Slavonski Brod municipal assembly, Executive council, Crisis center). In 1991, through organization of defence forces, firm foundations were laid down for the succesful defense of the town and its surroundings, while at the same time the first refugees started to arrive into this area.
