Stajićevo Farm, Republic of Serbia

The Stajićevo Farm (Agricultural Cooperative Livade - Stajićevo) near Zrenjanin was used from 18 November to 22 December 1991 as a detention site for Croats who were brought there by force after the fall of Vukovar. Members of the Croatian armed forces were held at the farm facilities, but the prisoners also included civilians and several doctors. JNA colonel Miroslav Živanović was the head of the detention complex. The Stajićevo Farm was surrounded by a tall barbed wire fence and the prisoners were kept in barns. They were constantly guarded by the military police. The prisoners were kept tied, and it was only after the visit by the International Committee of the Red Cros (ICRC) that they were given access to a toilet, water and blankets. The prisoners were subjected to inhumane conditions and daily abuse, interrogations and beatings.
