History

Above Dunići remains of stećci (tombstones) have been discovered.

During World War II, the Yugoslav Partisans were active in Radohova.[4] A Partisan divisional hospital was located below Dunići rocks and Demići, in the gorge of Demićka river. It was repeatedly bombed during the Sixth Enemy Offensive.[5]

During the Bosnian War (1992–95), Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), police and paramilitary forces demolished the surrounding Bosniak villages, especially those upstream along the Vrbanja to Kruševo Brdo, as well as all Bosniak villages downstream to Banja Luka.[6][7]
