  ## Bosnian War
  
  Snagovo was among the hardest hit villages at the start of the Bosnian War in 1992. Between April and June 1992, Serb forces ethnically cleansed the village of its Bosniak (Muslim) residents.
  
  ### 1992 massacre
  
  On 29 April 1992, a group of 36 Bosniak civilians were captured by Serbs hiding in the woods in Snagovo. They were killed, including children and pregnant women, and their corpses were burned in an effort to destroy evidence. Several days later, the victims' relatives found the burned remains and buried them nearby. Serbian Major Zoran Janković went on trial for the massacre but was acquitted 19 June 2007 due to lack of evidence.
  
  ### Srebrenica Genocide mass graves

  Among other massacres, six more people were killed in the village on 22 July 1995.
