	Claensing Serbs from Western Slavonia
		The ethnic Serb population from villages on the Psunj and papuk mountains, generally sparsely populated and in a forested part of Western Slavonia, self-organized during the second half of August 1991, determined to resist armed pressure exerted upon them by Croatian authorities and the ever more frequent raids of Croatian guardsmen.
		By far the greatest part of the ethnic Serb population fled their settlements in panic stricken terror of Croatian armed forces, and only a small part was evacuated in any ordered manner because it was feared that they might be subjected to tremendous massacres.
		Some villagers stayed on in individual ethnic Serb settlements on Papuk and Psunj (Potocani, Pakrani, Miokovicevo, Puklica, Gornje Kusonje, etc), but many of them disappeared without a trace after the Croatian armed forces entered these villages, and their actual fate is not known to us at this time.
