KNOWLEDGE OF Konjic
Konjic is a town and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina situated on the Neretva river. The town is in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and it is administratively part of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the 1991 census, the municipality of Konjic had 43,878 residents: 23,815 Bosniaks (54.3%), 11,513 Croats (26.2%), 6,620 Serbs (15.1%), and 1,930 others (4.4%).
In 1997, roughly two years after the Bosnian war ended, the demographics of the municipality had changed drastically. The municipality of Konjic had approx. 32,000 residents: 92,7% Bosniaks, 4,7% Croats, 2,4% Serbs, and 0,2% others.
The demographic shift was due to the Bosnian war because some residents of Konjic were forced to flee their homes to various areas. Since the Bosniaks did not have a second homeland as the Croats and Serbs, they mostly fled to Western Europe especially Germany and Austria. The Bosnian Croats fled to either Croat controlled parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina such as the western part of Mostar or to Croatia. While the Bosnian Serbs fled to either Serb controlled parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina such as Pale or to Serbia.
At the same time, some Bosniak refugees who could not flee to the west arrived to the area of Konjic from primarily the south west and east parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Nowadays, the demographics of Konjic are quite uncertain since there has not been a census since 1997. However, the area has seen some of its refugees return back to their homes especially those from Germany and some parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, today it is probably safe to assume that the municipality of Konjic has a population of approx. 39,000 (est.) with a Bosniak majority.
