The population numbers to some 3,000. Those are mainly Muslims today, estimated to be about 95%. This figure before 1992 was about 85%, while between 1992 and 1996 there was just a few Muslims, probably less than 1%.

After reintegration of Svrake in April 2006, after Dayton Peace Agreement, Orthodox Serb population had left Svrake and almost none had returned. Svrake had suffered great atrocities and crimes during early stages of war in 1992 and thereafter, which was a stumbling stone leading to today's smaller presence of Serbian population.
