Barracks of the former Planum construction company, village of Šljivovica, Republic of Serbia

Abandoned barracks of the former Planum construction company in the village of Šljivovica near Užice were used from August 1995 to 10 April 1996 as a site of detention for Bosniaks brought to there by force mostly after the fall of the Srebrenica and Žepa enclaves. The complex consisted of abandoned barracks with the administration housed in one structure and prisoners kept in the others. Upon arrival to the complex of abandoned barracks, the prisoners had to pass through a gauntlet of soldiers, had cold water poured on them and were forced to kneel on the concrete. A total of 350 Bosniaks were detained here at various times, and the prisoners were subjected to inhumane conditions, abuse and interrogations.
When the detention facility in Mitrovo Polje was closed, the remaining prisoners, 194 of them, were transferred back to Šljivovica where they remained until its closure on 10 April 1996. On the day of the detention facility’s closure, 13 or 14 prisoners were kept back on suspicion of having committed war crimes, but after a negative reaction from BiH authorities and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the prisoners were released.
