Bratunac (Cyrillic: Братунац) is a town and municipality located in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. The easternmost point of Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in the municipality of Bratunac which lies in the entity Republika Srpska. During the early stages of the Bosnian War, war-crimes were commited on the Bosniak population in the municipality of Bratunac, where VRS soldiers either killed or forced them to flee to the neighbouring city of Srebrenica, at that time a "safe area" under UN protection.
