	Swans' Past Commentaries: Back to the Future, by Aleksandra Priestfield - alekp009
		The former leader of the SDA is now the leader of the so-called "Bosniak National Council of Sandzak" which is calling, amongst other things, for the end of legislation it considers discriminatory against Muslims.
		Sandzak was an administrative part of Bosnia (itself an administrative region) until 1878, under the Ottoman Empire.

	1997/09/08 22:48 IS SANDZAK DISAPPEARING? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This was the time when Sandzak lived in fear of spreading of the war and in an atmosphere of general uncertainty.
		And the state of neglect Sandzak is nowadays in is sufficiently well illustrated by the single fact that more than 150 cases of jaundice have been registered in Novi Pazar alone just in June and July this year.
		According to the data we were given by Safet Bandzovic, president of the Sandzak committee for protection of human rights, exchange of apartments and houses is characteristic for municipalities of Pljevlja, Nova Varos, Priboj, in which the Bosniacs are the minority population.

	International Crisis Group - Serbia's Sandzak: Still Forgotten
		One area frequently mentioned as vulnerable and a possible flashpoint of new violence is Serbia's Sandzak, an ethnically-mixed Muslim-Slav (Bosniak) majority region sandwiched between Montenegro, Kosovo and Bosnia.
		Sandzak suffers from significant economic decline and ongoing loss of population.
		But Sandzak can and should remain peaceful provided both Serbs and Bosniaks keep a grip on their nationalist elements and make a good faith effort to find common ground.

	UNHCR - Sandzak: Calm For Now
		The Sandzak's Muslim Slavs have witnessed the destruction of the Muslims in neighbouring Bosnia, and they understand Bosnia's Muslims received scant outside support during the war even though Bosnia and Herzegovina was a recognised state and a member of the United Nations.
		The Sandzak's Muslim Slavs are by all accounts unorganised, virtually unarmed, surrounded and closely monitored by the better armed Serbs, and cut off from possible sources of weaponry, all variables suggesting the Sandzak Muslim population is suffering in resignation.
		A summary of the political developments in the Sandzak -- and especially in the Novi Pazar district, which is the bellwether for the entire area -- clearly shows the divisions within the area's Muslim community, notably within its leadership, and the roots of the political docility prevalent amongst the public at large.

		Sandzak, which is carrying its name after a Turkish word for a military district, constituted a part of the Bosnian Pashalik within the Ottoman Empire until the year 1878.
		The referendum on Sandzak was held on the 25th - 27th of October 1991, on which the people of Sandzak (mostly Bosniacs) were declaring their will on the issue of autonomy with the possibility of joining some of the republics (without specifically stating which of the republics).
		Since the referendum for the autonomy of Sandzak was being held at the time of Yugoslavia's disintegration, the Bosnian National Council of Sandzak has in the middle of 1993 adopted and published a memorandum calling, according to the model of the Hungarians in Vojvodina, for a »special status of Sandzak«.

	SERBIA-MONTENEGRO HUMAN RIGHTS PRACTICES, 1994
		Sandzak Muslim political leaders and human rights activists believed the beatings were aimed at creating a climate of fear in the Muslim community to destroy the SDA and ultimately alter the demographic balance in the region by causing Muslims to flee.
		Nearly 100 Kosovar Albanians and Sandzak Muslims have been convicted over the past 2 years and are serving prison terms on the unsubstantiated grounds of conspiring to undermine the integrity of the State.
		Often, police in Sandzak and Kosovo simply order a member of an ethnic minority to turn in a certain weapon and a specified number of bullets within a set time, on threat of detention or torture.

		Muslims living in the five Sandzak municipalities in Montenegro are leaving in especially large numbers fearing that they would bear the brunt of a possible conflict between Milosevic loyalists and the Montenegrin authorities.
		Six municipalities of the Sandzak are in Serbia and five in Montenegro, all of which are ethnically mixed.

	My Way News - Muslim Radicals Strengthen in Serbia
		The presence of radical Muslims in Sandzak, the poorest region of Serbia, is linked to the advent of mujahedeen foreign fighters who joined Bosnian Muslims in their battle against the Serbs in Bosnia's 1992-95 independence war.
		Sandzak's Muslims like to be called Bosniaks because they believe they ethnically belong to Bosnia, not Serbia.

	News: Balkans, Montenegro independence vote splits old Muslim region
		Speaking at a recent public debate on the effect of the referendum on Bosniaks, the president of Montenegro's main Sandzak town of Rozaje, Nusret Kalac, said the key for his people was eventual EU membership.
		Sandzak was established in the 15th century when Ottoman Turks conquered Serb areas, creating a trade route linking Bosnia with Kosovo.
		Observers on the ground say Sandzak's people have already adapted to the loose federation of Serbia-Montenegro that was formed with backing from the European Union in 2003.
