Sažetak
The City of Vukovar has, due to Serbian aggression during
many months of attacks and siege and throughout the six-year
period of occupation, suffered greatly regarding both human
losses and material damages in all spheres of its citizens’
economic and social lives. The numerous and complex effects
of the war represent an extremely negative determinant of
postwar (peaceful) reconstruction and revitalisation of the
demographic, social and economic picture of Vukovar.
Thousands of people killed, some twenty thousand displaced
persons and ten billion kuna worth of war damages in housing
units, economic, communal and transport infrastructure – are
only rough numerical indicators of the size and structure of the
consequences caused by Serbian military aggression against
Vukovar. Despite the aftermath of war, all the casualties and
destruction, the City of Vukovar has managed to retain most of
its transport and geographic features based on which, if given
the right strategy of social, economic and spatial development,
the city and its surroundings could prosper.
