Cultural Centre in Drinjača

In May 1992, the building of the Cultural Centre in the village of Drinjača near Zvornik was turned into a detention facility for more than 80 Bosniaks. In the night between 30 and 31 May 1992, more than 80 prisoners held there were executed. The facility was run by VRS units.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) convicted Mićo Stanišić, the wartime minister of interior of Republika Srpska, and Stojan Župljanin, chief of the Banja Luka Security Services Centre, for crimes committed in 1992 in twenty municipalities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including crimes committed in the Municipality of Zvornik, and sentenced them to 22 years in prison.
