- Jezera, Teslić
Jezera (
Serbian Cyrillic : Језера) is a village in centralBosnia and Herzegovina . Before the collapse and dissolution of Yugoslavia and theWar in Bosnia and Herzegovina ,1992 -1995 , Jezera was administratively under the jurisdiction ofTeslić , amunicipality in central-northern Bosnia; after the war the village was administratively attached to themunicipality ofZenica , to the south of Teslić.The
ethnic andreligious structure of Jezera was disturbed by the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Heavily populated by the Orthodox Christian inhabitants before the war, Jezera's demographic structure drastically changed during and following the war. To take an example, virtually the entire subvillage (Serbo-Croatian : "zaseok", pl. "zaseoci") Kusići, left their homes and the area. Among the reasons for thisexodus was the newly establishedgeopolitical order in Bosnia an Herzegovina, and the administrative attachment of the village toZenica . The border between the two Bosnian "entities," i.e. theFederation of Bosnia and Herzegovina andRepublika Srpska , runs through the village Jezera.Before the war and the exodus of its population, the village of Jezera was composed of several subvillages:
* Đukići
* Đurići
* Jelići
* Kusići
* Mijići
* Nedići
* PanićiAs is often the case with many other Bosnian
toponym s, the names of villages and subvillages are the same as the last names carried by its inhabitants; e.g., the villagers of the subvillage "Đukići" (pl. of "Đukić") would carry the same last name, Đukić.Population
