But everything had changed. Beginning in 1992, the Bosnian war had broke out. A Serbian group called the White Eagles attacked Visegrad, who is predominantly by Muslim.

 

The victims

 

Vilina Vlas was made into the headquarters of the White Eagles that led by Milan Lukic. There, hundreds of men live while preparing a war strategy. Gradually, one by one the women were abducted and taken to Vilina Vlas. In the building, they were raped in turns.

One of the survivors says that Vilina Vlas is a terrible place. Inside the building, screams and crying from the girls will be heard inside the building. The girls were locked in the room, until one of the members of the White Eagles came and picked one of the girls to be raped. Not only that, about 49 male Muslims were burned alive in Vilina Vlas and about 100 children were killed and dumped into the river.

After the war ended, Milan Lukic fled and hid to saved his life. But eventually he was tried in an international criminal tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

Lukic was sentenced to life in prison.

The government also decided to make Vilina Vlas as a place of business. But the dark history of Visegrad is closed. In a way, the dark tracks of this city was deliberately wanted to be removed.

This is proved from the testimony of the Visegrad mayor, Mladen Djurevic in the Hague international court. Mladen Djurevic has denied ever hearing of rape, torture, or murder in Vilina Vlas.
