History


Gavrilo Princip, the main perpetrator of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, was born in the village of Obljaj located just east of Bosansko Grahovo.

From 1929 to 1941, Bosansko Grahovo was part of the Vrbas Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In the Drvar uprising Grahovo was captured by the Serb rebels commanded by Branko Bogunović.[1] Bogunović joined Yugoslav Army in the Fatherland and in September 1941 he was appointed as commander of the Chetnik Regiment "Gavrilo Princip" from Grahovo.

During the Bosnian War, the city was held by Bosnian Serb forces. The Croatian Army captured the city in July 1995, during Operation Summer '95.[2] The offensive displaced a large number of Serb refugees. After the war, the Serb civilians returned, and today they constitute the majority of population in the municipality.[3] However, nowadays the population is much smaller, having declined from 9,000 to about 2,500.
