Brezovo Polje, Brčko

Brezovo Polje (Serbian Cyrillic: Брезово Поље) is a town in north-eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina and is located within the Brčko District.

It is believed that Brezovo Polje was settled in the 1860s by Muslim refugees from Šabac and Užice, fleeing Serbia which was at war with the Ottoman Empire.

There are myths circulating that during the era of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) it was forbidden to visit the church and that there were cases when the police used the force on religious Serb civilians.

In the summer of 1992, following the expulsion of the Bosniak population of Brezovo Polje by Serb paramilitaries, the mosque was entirely demolished with dynamite.

[3] However, the reconstruction efforts are under way in 2009 to rebuild the structure which is under UNESCO protection due to its rarity, cultural and religious significance, and association with the history of Brezovo Polje.
