Gornji Jelovac is a populated place in the city of Prijedor, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the 1991 census there were 547 inhabitants. [1]
Just before the Second World War - in 1940, the village had 1,158 inhabitants. [2] Gornji Jelovac (lies on the road from Prijedor to Dubica) is one of the many Potkozarje villages that was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War when Ustashe (Croats and Muslims) slaughtered and killed 626 Serb civilians, including 267 children under the age of 15. It is another in a series of evidences of the genocide committed by the independent state of Croatia against the Serb population. [3]
Geography
It is located in the very heart of Kozara, below the peak of Komanda (elevation 497 m - the eastern edge of the village). From the west, the border is the ridge Planinica, and from the south Bukova Kosa (elevation 287 m). In the north, Jelovac is open to Knežopolje, i.e.- Donji Jelovac and further to Knežica. In the north-east, at 301 m, there is the famous hill Patrija, the thirteen centuries old Serbian Knežopolje Guard. [4] [5] There is the Road of Partisan Liberation - from the river Mlječanica to the elementary school "Petar Kočić". The average altitude of the village is 240 m.
About 60% is arable land and about 40% is forest. The rivers Mlječanica, and streams Rijeka (Jelovačka = Poharine), Jelovača, Poljanski potok, Studena and Petrovića potok (flows from Prodans, through Aleksićs and Vilas - to Cerova kosa, i.e. Usjek) all flow through the village. There are 27 wells of drinking water. [6]
