Before 1990, Ilidža was populated mainly by the Serbs 47,21% and Bosnian Muslims 31,58% . When war started in 1992 until the 1995 Dayton Peace Accord the municipality was divided between Bosnian Muslims (Hrasnica, Sokolovic Kolonija, Butmir) and Serb (Ilidza, Kotorac, Vojokovici, Grlica) parts. When, under the terms of the Accord, Ilidža was placed within the territory of the Bosnian Federation, the vast majority of Serbs fled the city to live in the Republika Srpska, destroying some buildings as they did so. Some of those who remained were harassed and otherwise intimidated by an influx of Bosniaks, many of whom had lost their homes in Sarajevo or been evicted from Serb-held territory elsewhere. From 1996, Ilidza was home to the headquarters of the NATO peacekeeping force IFOR (later SFOR and EUFOR) before its move to nearby Butmir in the year 2000. During this period, the hotels Terme, Srbija (Serbia), Bosna (Bosnia) and Jadran were barricaded and the area used as NATO HQ. Today Ilidza remains a bustling, largely Bosniak- dominated town. Vojkovici and Grlica formed Eastern Ilidza Municipality which is dominated by Serbs
