[edit] Current
Nowadays, the population of Srebrenik is not clear since no official census has been conducted after 1991. However, it is certain that during the 1990s and particularly during the Bosnian war, the municipality of Srebrenik received approximately 13,000 Bosniak war refugees from primarily the municipalities of Doboj, to the west, and Brčko, to the north of Srebrenik.
On the other hand, some of the Serb residents left the area since Srebrenik became chiefly populated by Bosniaks. In early 1996, when the Bosnian war ended, most of the remaining Serb residents of Srebrenik left because Srebrenik became administratively part of the Tuzla Canton and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Due to these factors the March 1998 unofficial census recorded the following demographic composition. The municipality of Srebrenik had 47,938 inhabitants:
Therefore, today it is safe to assume that the municipality of Srebrenik has a population of approximately 49,000 (est.) residents with an evident majority of Bosniaks along with a small minority of primarily Croats.
In 2005, 97% of population of the municipality were ethnic Bosniaks.
[edit] History
