Former Bosnian exclave of Sastavci

Sastavci was for a few years in the 1990s an exclave of Bosnia and Herzegovina and located as an enclave just west of the Serbian town of Priboj in the region of Zlatibor. All infrastructure and systems (electricity, telecom, education, medical care etc.) in the enclave are tied to the Serbian municipality, but the citizens were paying land tax to the Bosnian municipality of Rudo. This also includes Serbian citizens when it comes to business buildings.

The enclave of Sastavci was part of the Medjurecja village of the municipality of Rudo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the area of 395 ha, 83 acres and 57 m² – about twice the size of Monaco. The area represents (1990 metres)².

The population was 270 persons (1999) and including 75 households. More than 70% of the citizens living in the exclave were Serbian citizens. 135 persons with 25 households were Bosnian Muslims.
