Summary/Abstract: Based on accessible sources and literature, the author demonstrates and partly assesses in this article the direct Croatian demographic losses during the Greater Serbian aggression. Analysed were: the temporal and spatial framework of direct demographic sufferings in the period between 1990 and 1998, then the number, i.e. structure of war victims (Croatian defenders, civilians, the missing…) as well as some consequences of the direct demographic losses for the development of the Croatian state. The research assesses thatduring the Greater Serbian aggression Croatia had approximately 20,091 direct demographic losses, i.e. direct war victims. Out of that number 14,433 or 71.8% were Croatian defenders and civilians who were killed or who died due to consequences of war, 1,658 or 8.3% Croatian defenders and civilians who went missing and about 4,000 or 19.9% were members of theSerbian paramilitary and civilians who were killed or who died on the former occupied territories.
