Tenja (Serbian Cyrillic:Тења,Hungarian:Tenye,German:Tenne) is a village in easternSlavonia,Croatia, located just southeast ofOsijek. The population is 7,376.[3]
During theCroatian War of Independence, Tenja was under the control of Serb rebel forces. It was a part of theself-proclaimedSAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia (1991–1992),Republic of Serbian Krajina (1992-1995) andUnited Nations protectorate ofEastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia (1995-1998).
Between July and November 1991, Serb forces killed at least 29 non-Serb civilians in theTenja massacre, while another 3,000 residents were displaced from their homes.[4]
Between 1996 and 1998 Tenja was under theUnited Nations Transitional Administration for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Sirmium (UNTAES) administration.
The UNTAES mission made an executive decision to create the so-called Transitional Municipality of Tenja at the time of transition of the region to the control of the Croatian Government.[5] In January 1997 Transitional AdministratorJacques Paul Klein established new municipalities ofTrpinja,Negoslavci,Markušica,Šodolovci andJagodnjak with Serb majority which are today part of theJoint Council of Municipalities.[5] In Tenja andMirkovci were declared so called transitional municipalities with Serb ethnic majority which were to become part of Vinkovci and Osijek respectively after an additional transitional period of one year.[5]
