Fata Orlović

Orlović was the subject of an Al Jazeera Balkans documentary in November 2012 called The House That Fata Didn't Build.

In 2007, the Government of Republika Srpska agreed to fund the relocation of the church. The Office of the High Representative welcomed the agreement as a sign that Fata Orlović's right to private property would be respected.

The US Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina nominated Fata Orlović for the international "The Woman of Courage" award, given to brave women who fight for their rights in a nonviolent way. Orlović was chosen as the 2007 Person of the Year by the Bosnian newspapers "Dnevni avaz" and "Preporod".

When she returned to Konjević Polje in 2000, she found that her home had been completely demolished and a Serbian Orthodox church built on her land. The church was built in the summer of 1996, upon the end of the war.

Fata Orlović (née Husejnović; born 6 August 1942) is a Bosnian woman who was in a legal battle with authorities of Republika Srpska since she moved back to her home in the Bosnian village of Konjević Polje near Bratunac five years after the end of the Bosnian War in 2000 until 2021. In 2000, Orlović, who had been living as a refugee and war widow ever since the end of the war, returned to her home in Konjević Polje to find that a Serbian Orthodox church had been built on the piece of her property. She was in the legal struggle to claim the right to the property for over 20 years.

Fata was born on 6 August 1942 to Muslim and ethnically Bosniak parents Šaban and Zlatka Husejnović, in the eastern Bosnian hamlet Hrnčići on the outskirts of Bratunac. She married Šaćir Orlović, with whom she had seven children including four daughters: Fatima, Zlatka, Hurija, and Senija; and three sons: Šaban, Hasan, and Ejub.
