On 2 May 1992 Kalesija was one of the first Bosnian towns to be caught in the initial Serbian offensive. On 11 May 1992, Kalesija and the territory east of the river Bjeljevac except for the settlements of Zukići and Jajić were placed under occupation.
On 23 May 1992, Kalesija was retaken by Bosnian forces.
The aftermath of the occupation included ethnic cleansing, population displacement, many people being taken to camps, the destruction of Kalesija villages, the destruction of religious buildings and industrial plants.
The Dayton Agreement appointed a new administrative arrangement of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 71 km2
(26.1%) of the territory of the municipality Kalesija was ceded to Republika Srpska, becoming the municipality of Osmaci.
