Prijedor (Serbian Cyrillic: Приједор, pronounced [prijěːdor] ) is a city in the entity of Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. As of 2013, it had a population of 89,397 inhabitants within its administrative limits.[2][3] Prijedor is situated in the northwestern part of the Bosanska Krajina geographical region.
Prijedor is known for its mixed religious heritage comprising Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism and Islam. Unfortunately, genocide committed by the Army of Republic of Srpska during 1992-1995, resulted in virtual extermination of city's non-serb population. Historic buildings from the Ottoman and Austrian-Hungarian periods are a feature of the urban landscape. The city underwent extensive renovation between 2006 and 2009.
