DEMOGRAPHIC LOSSES OF THE CROATIAN ARMY DURING THE HOMELAND WAR

Summary/Abstract: The estimation of demographic losses of the Croatian Army during the Homeland War and the post-war period in this article is based on the available statistic data and relevant books. It has been confirmed that 8 147 Croatian soldiers died during the war (as a consequence of wounds, diseases, suicide and other reasons), whereas 521 soldiers are considered imprisoned/missing according to the information from October, 2002. This means that demographic losses of the Croatian Army have been estimated to at least 8 668 soldiers. The losses are divided according to time when the soldiers died (year), the county where they lived before the war, according to age and gender, which means that spatial, temporal, and biological (demographic) aspects were taken into consideration. The year 1991 and the County of Vukovar and Srijem call particular attention because of the large number of the soldiers of the Croatian Army who were killed or missing in action.
