Srebrenik (Serbian Cyrillic:Сребреник) is a city located inTuzla Canton of theFederation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, nearTuzla. As of 2013, the city had a population of 39,678 inhabitants, while the urban centre itself had a population of 6,694.[1]
Based on unsystematic archaeological research, there have been found what appears to be remains of a Neolithic village near Hrgovi Gornji. Further research is required before any conclusions are made.[2]
The earliest historical record documenting Srebrenik is theedict of Stephen II to Ragusa signed on 15 February, 1333.[3] According to documents from the same period, Srebrenik was under the administration ofžupa Usora.[4]Srebrenik fortress, a medieval fortress dating back to at least 1333, is located on theMajevica mountain, providing an important strategic stronghold in the area.
In September 1363, kingLouis I of Hungary sent an army to Bosnia, led by his palatineNicholas Kont. This army suffered substantial losses of Hungarian soldiers and materials in Srebrenik. Among the lost materials was the royal seal, which was replaced afterwards.[5]
After the death of Louis I, numerous other Hungarian conquests occurred. One was led bySigismund of Luxembourg, whose army besieged and conquered Srebrenik, holding out for the next four years.[6] It was then granted to a Serbian despotStefan Lazarević although the Hungarian army maintained its garrison for some time after the grant.[7]
Srebrenik again fell under Bosnian control after it was conquered bygrand duke Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić. It is not known exactly when the city was recaptured by the Hungarians and for how long Hrvoje Vukčić had held the city.
Earliest accounts ofOttoman raiders near Srebrenik have been found in Ragusan letters directed to Sigismund in August 1426, detailing Ottoman activities as follows:[8][9]
Almost the entire summer an army composed of about four thousand Turks was in Bosnia; neither thelord king of Bosnia nor his barons dared to do anything about them. DukeSandalj and dukeRadoslav Pavlović had managed to achieve peace among themselves. Turks raided parts of Croatia and captured many Croats and Vlachs dwelling there. They raided parts of Usora and Srebrenik twice; they were also present in the territories of dukeZlatonosović; these Turks have returned to their lands and few remained in Bosnia. The gloriouslord despot, with his nephewĐurađ, as it was told, made peace with theVenetians inZeta; a part of the land remained in possession of the lord despot and his nephew and the rest in the possession of the Venetians.
By 1462 the entire župa Usora was under Ottoman control, including Srebrenik. Due to failures in logistics and an epidemic, the Ottoman army had to retreat andMatthias Corvinus managed to seize back Srebrenik. In order to further improve the defense against future Ottoman attacks, Matthias created the banate of Srebrenik in 1464 and granted it toNicholas of Ilok who later became the titular king of Bosnia.[9][10]
There are two accounts related to the Ottoman conquest of Srebrenik. According to one, Srebrenik was taken in 1512, together withTeočak. The other version says that Srebrenik was taken together with Sokol andTešanj in 1521 by the Bosniansanjak-beyFeriz Beg.
