Anka Zjačić

Anka Zjačić was born in 1950 in the village of Srijane near to Omiš. She married a JNA [Yugoslav National Army] officer and moved to Split. Since her husband was a JNA officer, Anka and her family were frequently shunned at the beginning of the 1990s in Split. Her husband was killed at the beginning of the war. Anka Zjačić and her children were mistreated and their human rights were infringed. In 1992 the family was evicted in a brutal way from the flat that they were occupying. For years, Anka and her young son had to get by, periodically having to find new accommodation in Split. After winning a legal dispute, they entered their flat again in 2002. Following the grave trauma that the family had been through, her son committed suicide in 2011. Today, her daughter lives in Mostar, and Anka Zjačić lives in the apartment in Split, which she is currently in the process of purchasing.
