Serbs who lived in Rašćani. Rašćani was a village inhabited exclusively by Serbs. In all the other villages, Serbs lived mixed with Croats. Later on, the village of Rašćani was turned into a concentration camp where women, children and old people were held in detention for fifteen months.
There were five persons in the camp in Duvno, who were not from the district of Duvno, but were captured by Ustashas and brought into the camp, i.e.:
1. Gavro Bojanić, village of Zvirnjača, Commune of Kupres,
2. Ruža Bojanić, wife of Gavro,
3. Marko Duvnjak, village of Malovan, Commune of Kupres,
4. Duško Savanović, Commune of Travnik,
5. Cvijo Popović, Commune of Donji Vakuf/Srbobran.
The total number of Orthodox Serbs who lived in the territory of the Commune of Duvno until the outbreak of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina on April 3, 1992 was: five hundred and fifty-eight (558) residents and one hundred and twenty (120) households.
Following the outbreak of the war in Bosnia--Herzegovina on April 3, Ustasha forces attacked the village of Malovan and massacred a large number of Serbs. On the same day, at seven o'clock in the morning, the arrests of Serbs started. They were taken the police station, interrogated, mistreated and their houses were searched. Serb property was plundered, both personal possessions and real assets, their livestock was taken away and agricultural vehicles driven off. On June 10, 1992, the first Serb to be killed was Jovan Važić, a merchant from Rašćani, killed in his shop in the village of Mandino Selo. He was killed on the Day of the Independent State of Croatia. On the same day, the Church in Rašćani dedicated to the Holy Mother, "Vavedenje Presvete Bogorodice", was first mined and then set on fire. According to the accounts of the villagers of Rašćani, the Church blew up at five o'clock sharp and then it burst into flames.
From this day on, started the true exodus of Serbs from Duvno. On April 7, at eleven thirty at night, they came to me - says Priest Branko Zeleni, into my apartment, searched it thoroughly, took away whatever they wanted and ordered me to get ready and go with them. Prior to this, they ordered me to open the door of the Church. Upon entering, they started desecrating it by shooting at the iconostasis, turning over candlesticks, the Holy Throne, Sacrificial Altar, as well as by throwing down the holy books and all the other things found in the Church. The Church was dedicated to St. Nikola, "Sveti Otac Nikola", and it was built of hard material - stone, in 1864. Icons were of different types, from oil-painted icons on canvas to icons painted on wood. They were hung on the wooden iconostasis. After that I was taken to the police station for a long interrogation. I was subjected to maltreatment and was even beaten up in various ways. My brother-in-law Mijo Bošnjak and one of my neighbours Drago Bosnić were also taken in with me and there, at the police station, we found some other Serbs who have been picked up and put into the cell on the same day. From this day on, Serbs were brought in every day from all over the Duvno area. Concentration camps were being set up. Serbs were taken to various Ustasha prisons located in places throughout Herzeg-Bosnia and Croatia: Ljubuško, Grude, Šujice, Posušje, Imotsko, Split, Šibenik, Zadar and in many other places.

Since I was the parish priest of all these people for many years and was acquainted with their health condition, both physical and mental, I think that all those who died would have lived longer if it had not been for the war. For this reason I think that all those who died should be regarded and recorded as victims of war and genocide of Serbs in Duvno.
Following are the lists of Serbs exchanged collectively or individually for Ustasha criminals and slayers in the exchanges carried out from May 5 to June 29 1993 when all the remaining Serbs were released from Duvno.

All the exchanged were accommodated at the "Delfin" hotel in Bijela, where they remained until their families were released. Milan Karan (Milčina) was exchanged in Čelebić, near Livno on November 20, 1992. That was when the last able-bodied Serb fit for military service was released from Duvno. Only the old, women and children or some 250 persons remained in Duvno. The oldest man detained in Rašćani was Danko Zečević, born 1898, and the youngest was a child born in the camp in Rašćani, Teodora Marić, born on April 10, 1992. She was released when she was fifteen months old and weighing barely six kilograms - obviously suffering from malnutrition. On June 29, 1993 in Čelebić, between Livno and Grahovo, all the remaining Serbs from Duvno were allowed to leave this place which they did.
The Church district of Duvno in Duvno had two Churches and two parish houses. One of the parish houses was owned by the Church and the other one was taken away from the Church in 1959 as exceeding its requirements and placed at the disposal of the Commune of Duvno. In March 1992, it was returned to the Church. There were six cemeteries in the parish. The Church was in possession of one hundred hectares of fertile soil, meadows, woods and fields which were taken away and not returned to the Church. One church was located in Duvno itself and the parish house in the churchyard. The Church was dedicated to "Sveti Otac Nikola". The other Church was located in the village of Rašćani and was dedicated to "Vavedenje Presvete Bogorodice". These were Serb cemeteries in Duvno, Eminovo Selo, Oplećani, Rašćani, Mandino Selo and Lipa. According to accounts of residents, on June 29, 1992 the Church in Duvno looked as follows: As I have already written and reported, the Church of Sveti Nikola in Duvno was desecrated as early as April 7, 1992 when I, Priest Branko Zeleni was taken in. The iconostasis and icons were destroyed by rifle fire and everything else was turned over and plundered. The parish house was also plundered and our car driven away. According to the accounts of local residents, a family was moved into the parish house. They drew such a conclusion from the clothing which was hung to dry on the balcony. That was the state of the Church by the end of June 1993.
The Church Vavedenje Presvete Bogorodice, as I have already written, was mined and burnt down at five o'clock in the morning on April 10, 1992. All that could burn was burnt. The Church was in the same state when they were released from the camp in Raščani. The Serb cemeteries remained intact until the day of their release. However, the Croatians are enjoying the benefits of the Serb property left.
This is a short Report on the parish of Duvno from the outbreak of the war on April 3, 1992 to June 29, 1993.

Hereafter the witness on the subject itself stated as follows: ...
When Moslems had forcibly taken my husband to their Army, I was left alone in my apartment when the harassment and raids of apartments by Moslem Army members continued. However, they had still not started abusing us in our apartments, but they kept insulting and cursing us and taking from our apartments whatever they wanted. Soon afterwards, sometime in spring 1993, all of us Serb women who were in the building, were taken out of our apartments by Moslem soldiers and accommodated in the basement of our building where I stayed until February 2, this year.
In the basement of our building, there were 8 of us Serb women who were living in our building in Djura Djaković street. I was the youngest and there were older women, over 60 years of age. At first, approximately for a month there in the basement, we had to wash clothes for the Moslem Army. In this first month, Moslem soldiers did not abuse us but only harassed and cursed us and called us bad names and beat us. They behaved brutally, and among us 8 Serb women kept in this basement, the first one who started to protest in some way against such inhuman behaviour was one of our neighbours named Ružica, 60 years of age. I cannot recall her surname right now. Anyway, she was the first one that was abused and raped because she dared to protest and comment on their inhuman treatment of us.
After that Moslem soldiers started abusing and raping all 8 of us daily, day and night alike, at any time of the day or night, whenever they felt like it. All this was accompanied by threats, cursing, beating, with their knives drawn and threats that they would cut off our breasts, ears and other parts of our bodies.
What terror and torture we endured and suffered at the hand of Moslem soldiers is best illustrated by the example of an older woman who was even a bit older than Ružica and whose name I cannot recall at the moment. But due to extensive maltreatment and beating, she died. It might have happened sometime in August 1993.
All these crimes were committed against 8 of us by Moslem soldiers. There were many of them and I do not know their names. Some of them I know only by their nicknames. I know only a neigbour from the same building who was living in the next entrance to mine. He was their leader and he was the one who decided what we were to do and in what way we were to be abused and raped. This man's name was Asim and his surname was Čampara or Čapara, age 35-40, of such a dark complexion that he resembled a Gypsy. The others that committed crimes against us, I know only by their nicknames, such as: "Čenga", a lad of my age, perhaps 28-29 years old; then "Aka", about 30 years old; "Žika", I think his surname was Simić, but they called him "Žika". He was of the same age as Asim Čapara.
Of course, I would recognize any one of these criminals if I were to see them. However, I cannot recall the exact number of these criminals who raped us because it was happening daily, day and night alike. And as I have already said, the leading one among them who was in charge of all this was my neighbour Asim Čapara or Čampara.
...
However, I have not the slightest idea how I came to be saved and rescued from this hell. I think it was thanks to my sister.
...
... I know only this much, that on February 2 this year I was taken to Vrače, a settlement just cross the Miljacka river, above the Jewish cemetery, from where I was taken to Pale the next day. Seven days ago I was taken from Pale to the Gynecological and Obstetric Clinic in Belgrade where I had an abortion because I was several months pregnant as a result of the rapes ...
I have listened to loud dictation of these minutes and I recognize a statement as mine and as such I hereby sign it.
