Elinac

Čelinac is a town and municipality in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. As of 2013, the municipality has 15,548 inhabitants, with the town itself having 5,097 residents. Geographically, it lies along the Jošavka and Vrbanja rivers, bordered by municipalities such as Laktaši to the north, Teslić east, Kotor Varoš and Kneževo south, and Banja Luka west.

The town's history is marked by its role during the Yugoslav War. Radoslav Brđanin, a native of nearby Popovac, was a key figure in the Autonomous Region of Krajina (ARK) and held significant positions in Republika Srpska. Convicted by the ICTY for war crimes, he received a 30-year sentence.

During the conflict, non-Serb populations faced severe restrictions, including curfews and bans on public activities. Documentation from July 1992 revealed that Croats and Muslims were confined to their homes, allowed only to leave the municipality entirely. These measures were part of broader ethnic persecution tactics.

Notable individuals from Čelinac include Radoslav Brđanin, a politician convicted of war crimes; Rajko Kuzmanović, another politician; and Željko Blagojević, an ultra runner. The municipality's economic data and detailed demographics are available but not extensively detailed in the provided text.
