The ratio between Serbs and Muslims, and this holds true also for the overall population of the municipality, was 2.53:1. From the very center of the municipality, the town of Srebrenica, 180 people were killed according to the census, which makes up 12.57% of victims from this municipality and which is much more than their share in the overall population of the municipality (8.32%).

The ratio of Serbian and Muslim victims from the town is 1.93:1. Broken down to categories of losses compared with the total losses in the municipality it is clear that civilians make up 88.48% of all victims (1.267), whereas members of armed units make up 11.52% and members of the Royal Yugoslav Army (1.40%) and Partisans 10.12%. Civilians make up 93.25% of Muslim victims (373), 86.94% of Serbian ones (879) and 71.43% of other and unknown ethnic groups (15). On the other hand, Partisans make up 28.57% of victims of other and unknown nationalities (6), 12.07% of Serbian victims (122), whereas they make up only 4.25% of Muslim victims (17). The largest contingent among the soldiers of the Royal Yugoslav Army are Muslims with 2.25% (10), Serbs 0.99% (10) whereas there are no registered categories among members of other and unknown ethnic groups. Serbs suffered most from the military, police and para-military units of the Independent State of Croatia who were responsible for 93.43% of victims of this ethnic group. They suffered much less from German armed units, 5.71%, whereas their suffering from the Chetniks 0.57% and from other armed formations 0.29% is negligible. Largest part of Muslims fell victims to the Chetniks 60.81%, than to German military units 27.03%, whereas 12.16% were killed by the military, police and para-military units of the Independent State of Croatia.
