History
[edit]In October 1992, during the Bosnian war, 16 Bosniak residents of Sjeverin were abducted and murdered by Milan Lukić and members of Osvetnici ("Avengers") paramilitary group in the Sjeverin massacre. Following the massacre, other Bosniaks fled the area. In 2006 the Sandžak Committee for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms reported that the state was not working to facilitate the return of the population displaced by ethnic cleansing.[2]
