Summary/Abstract: During the execution of ethnic cleansing, the Serb authorities in Prijedor in coordination with the Banja Luka Security Services Centre (CSB) and the 1st Krajina Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) set up several concentration camps in the municipality. In terms of the number of killed civilians, the most brutal camp was the Omarska camp, in which, according to the previous research results, 458 Bosniak and Croat civilians were killed. Omarska is also an example of sexual abuse of detained women, sadistic crimes against detainees and mass executions of Bosniak and Croat intellectuals. The existence of this and other camps is in direct correlation with the policy of creating permanent Serb ethnic domination in Prijedor and wider area of Bosnian Krajina.
