Summary/Abstract: Although not proved in court, facts explicitly show that genocide against Bosniaks occurred in the period from 1992 to 1995 in Zvornik municipality. The total number of Bosniak killed in the municipality of Zvornik was 1976, of which 1542 were identified, while 434 people were missing. We would like to emphasize that the total number killed in the municipality of Zvornik is the largest number in the area of Bijeli Potok. At the beginning of June 1992, 665 Bosniak civilians were captured and killed in the Bijeli Potok. Of these, 422 were identified and 243 were missing. The majority of Bosniak victims were men, 655 men, while the rest were women. At the time the killed age structure was as follows: 69 were 15 to 20 years old, 150 killed 20 to 30 years old, 180 killed were aged 30 to 40, 121 killed were aged 40 to 50 , while there were 145 of them for 50 or more years. Most of the Bosniak killed were originally from the local community of Đulici, then from the local community of Klisa. Also, a large number of victims lived in Kucic Kula, Tršić, Šetići and Bijelo Potok, or they happened to be there by accident.
