 War Crimes > - HERCEG BOSNA :: Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina ::
Fojnica fell to the ABiH on July 10, and the Croats were chased out and went over the mountains to Visnica, where they occupied empty Muslim houses.
In the-course of the Muslim attack on Fojnica, the ABiH burned part of the HVO war hospital as well as the Hotel Reumal, and the mental hospital was damaged by attacks and snipers from Muslim positions on Zvjezdice opposite the Drin and the Mal Ploca Heights opposite Bakovici.
Before the conflict began in the Fojnica area on July 2, 41 percent of the town's population was Croat (about sixty-six hundred people), but the ECMM reported in October that the town was almost entirely Muslim, with only 150 Croats remaining-and they were preparing to leave because the Muslims would not provide them with food.

In those clashes, the witness said, about 70 percent of the Croatian villages in the vicinity of Fojnica were destroyed.
In order to prove Kordic's involvement in military issues, the prosecutor also pointed out that Kordic often appeared in Blaskic's company, that he wore a uniform and that he was present when the members of the Fojnica HVO took an oath.
In order to prove that Kordic had nothing to do with combat orders and HVO activities, Kordic's defence counsel Mitko Naumovski asked the witness to confirm that Blaskic was subordinated to the HVO headquarters, and that the orders reached him from outside central Bosnia, and not from Busovaca (where Kordic was).

FOJNICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina --A 15-year-old Muslim boy donated his $21 allowance to a drive Wednesday to raise money to help preserve centuries-old artifacts rotting in the damp basement of a Franciscan monastery damaged in the Bosnian war.
The monastery, built in 1888 in Fojnica by priests who have lived in the central Bosnian town for 650 years, suffered substantial structural damage in Bosnia's 1992-95 war.
But, he said, the most impressive donation, "not because of the amount of money but because of its moral message," was from Edin Vejzovic, a 15-year-old Muslim boy from the southern town of Mostar who sent his allowance for the month.
