• Yugoslavs - 23 (0,07)

[edit] 1991

In the 1991 census, the municipality of Kalesija had 41,795 inhabitants:

• 33,226 Bosniaks (79.5%),
• 7,669 Serbs (18.4%),
• 33 Croats (0.1%),
• 270 Yugoslavs (0.6%),
• and 597 others (1.4%).

[edit] Current population

Today, the population of Kalesija is uncertain since no census has been conducted after 1991. However, it is certain that during the 1990s, the municipality of Kalesija received roughly 4000 Bosniak refugees from primarily the nearby municipalities of Zvornik and Bijeljina. At the same time, parts of the Serb population left, after Kalesija became an administratively part of the Tuzla Canton and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

So, today it is safe to say that the municipality of Kalesija has a clear Bosniak majority with a population of approx. 40,000 (est.) residents.

In 2005, 99% of population of the municipality were ethnic Bosniaks.
