• On October 17, 1991 during the beginning of Croatian War of Independence, all non-Serbs fled as Yugoslav National Army occupied the whole area, but spared it from destruction because of its rapid occupation. Between 1991-1995, Ilok was part of Republic of Serb Krajina. In 1998 the area was reintegrated into Croatia, with the exception of Vukovar and Sarengrad islands, which are part of Serbia.
