Witness location : (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (4 km S from epicenter)

I was alone on the first floor, but I couldn't get asleep, so i got downstairs at about 1 o'clock and half an hour later my mother woke me up. She said that there was broken glass and almost everything fell from the shelves. We didn't go upstairs until the morning. First news about the epicenter and strength of the earthquake came from mobile internet.

Witness location : 5 Km E Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (6 km W from epicenter)

dieses erdbeben kündigte sich mit einem dröhnen an, als ob ein lkw in der ferne vorbei fährt und wurde immer lauter und dann fing das beben richtig an. das am 21.03.2011 auch in banja luka, begann mit einem riesenknall-explosion als wenn ein flugzeug die schallmauer durchbricht. es knallte,man hörte die fenster klirren und sofort wackelte alles.

This is the second earthquake in 2-month period. Many will be worried tommorow probably, when they find out that it was quite strong. 
If was sitting, and thon at my desk started shaking and ratling. It was kind of upsetting, but as i said it wasn't so scary 'couse we had sth similar just more than month ago.

There was no damage in Banjaluka, but the damage was reported in Celinac (adjacent municipality, the place of the epicenter, 10 kilometers east from Banjaluka): a few roofs of local houses and buildings, effects on ponds, walls of older objects and furniture.

I was indoor and first I hear a sound like a truck pass near the house and then I hear an explosion like when a jet breaking the sound barrier and the windows begin to rattel.

Pa da bar nisu oba bila u po noći možda bi bilo i lakše, ovako mi je srce stalo. Mislila sam da neće prestati tresi. Prilikom zadnjeg zemljotresa malo je drmnulo, ali se zgrada nastavila ljuljati, a sada je treslo non stop. Samo se bojim da se ne desi opet 1969 godina...Skakaću sa devetog.

First, it started with very loud explosion sound, then I felt short swaying of room, followed by trembling of furniture for next few seconds. It was pretty stronger subjective feeling than one M3.6 that recently was registered. It was just a few seconds, but it was pretty scary.

My first earthquake in Banja Luka, it was scary...

Samo da se ne ponovi. Uzasan osjecaj a Banjaluka je podrucje sa cestim zemljetresima.

It's scary... There is no thing that you can do in that moment. I felt helpless.

Witness location : Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (11 km W from epicenter)

first trembled briefly and then started to swim strongly.

Witness location : Travnik (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (66 km SE from epicenter)

Earthquake frequency seems to be increasing over here

Witness location : Pozega (Croatia) (70 km NE from epicenter)

Cabinet glass doors rattling, although only on one of two identical cabinets placed in a single room - the one facing south. The other one remained quiet throughout the event. During the 2011-03-21 00:04 UTC event with epicenter in the same region a similar effect occurred (but with ostensibly shorter shaking amplitude) on the other cabinet (facing west).
