@MaxMax-zg9vn Serbs were 583,000 in the 1991 census in Croatia, so that is a huge drop. There are more tolerant areas such as Istria which has Italian influence, so that is why some still leave peacefully.

@lesata-xk2hu German soldiers' documents from the middle of the war estimated Croats had killed over 700,000 Serbs - of course this was all over Croatia and BiH and not just one camp. Italian witnesses wrote how the Croats were strange and gleeful in the killings. That Croat priests would dance around and giggle.

@thisaccountwashacked666 That was staged by the Bosnian Muslims. Even the UN officers testified that the Bosnian Muslims forces, which were larger, staged attacks and sniped at both civilians and the UN in Sarajevo.

Bosnian Muslims were decapitating Sarajevo Serb civilians and throwing their bodies down Kazani gorge.

The Bosnian Muslims population rose percentage-wise during the war which shows they ethnically cleansed and killed the others (Croats and Serbs) more than happened to them. They had the largest army in BiH. They outnumbered the Bosnian Serb forces by 5 times. Meanwhile Croatia had 10s of thousands of their soldiers in BiH the entire war. There was also different factions of Bosnian Muslims who fought each other. It was a 4-way civil war.

Because key western countries, and the Catholic church, used them as proxies against the Serbs.

Srebrenica was mostly military dead as it was a huge Bosnian Muslim army base. Rwanda was pure civilians and mostly women and children. The fact that most of the Srebrenica deaths were military aged men should be a clue that they are counting the military who died in the fighting. Srebrenica was an arranged fall with the army and men leaving to Tuzla (city northwest of Srebrenica) days before the "fall". The men were ordered out by their own brigade commanders when the Serbs weren't even there. They had a lot of mined territory to walk through and there were running battles on the way to Tuzla as they were going through Serbian villages. But most of the army is said to have arrived intact, and thousands of "missing Srebrenica men" were on the Tuzla's voters' list in 1996. OSCE voters list.

Srebrenica was a Bosnian Muslim military base - they had an entire brigade there (and other forces as well) - which carried out a scorched-earth policy on the Serb villages all aroun. They are counting their soldiers who died in the entire war, as well as the soldiers who died from running battles and mines on the trek to Tuzla. The army and men were ordered out by their own brigade commanders when the Serbs weren't even there. The Serbs didn't go to Srebrenica until days later after they heard rumors/reports that the army had left. It was an arranged fall. The top Srebrenica commanders went to Tuzla 3 months before the "fall" and didn't return in the intervening time.

They probably couldn't speak your language.

@4CSCS There were also a lot of Serbs in that area who were Catholicized centuries before. The Catholic rulers, Venice, Vienna, etc. greatly restricted trade with Orthodox, and had many rules against them, so many became Catholic to participate in the economy.

"Not my turn to die" Savo Heleta - a Serb teen who lived in Gorazde, with his family, was tormented, put in a camp and starved and then had to escape by going through the Drina river in the middle of winter.

And don't do favors for backstabbers even if they do ask for them.

@Sushram-ii1ey They didn't call Bosnian Muslims the "Flowers of the Croats" in WWII for nothing.

Russia is fighting the Ukrainian forces which are a proxy of U.S./NATO. Ukrainian forces were attacking and at war with the Donbass people (area of Southeast Ukraine) since 2014 and were desiring to ethnically cleanse them all. But the Donbass people had their own forces to defend themselves, to a degree. They were miners and that part of Ukraine was where a lot of weapons were made. But U.S. was building up the Ukrainian forces for years, and it used the Minsk agreements, which Ukraine never implemented, to buy time - even Merkel and Macron admitted this last year. Ukraine was shelling and bombing Donbass more intensely starting in January 2022 in preparation for a blitzkrieg ethnic cleansing. Russian, finally, acted to try and help those people, though for first 18 months things became worse. However, Russia has been able to push Ukrainian forces back from the areas they were firing from. Only now, U.S. and NATO long range weapons have been sent and Ukraine is now attacking Russian territory and killing civilian Russians. It may end up with WWIII or nuclear war.

Sounds like the Croat-Muslim war where the Bosnian Muslims and Croats turned against each other for 16 months. Did he say where in Bosnia and Herzegovina he was from? There were also different factions of Bosnian Muslims fighting each other - the Sarajevo government forces against Fikret Abdic's forces in the Northwest.
2
It was in Croatia, near the border with Bosnia, and this was just one of several. There were also concentration camps run by the Austrians in WWI in this region.
2
@orecvarkov732 Most weren't even expelled but pressured by their government to leave. The Croats who didn't leave those areas were harassed by other Croats. That is what a UN officer from the U.S. witnessed when she was there.

Slovenia was overrun by the Germans, but some of the Slovenes welcomed them with flowers.

Bosnia was a 4-way war as you had the Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Muslims turn against each other only 6 months into that war. Their fighting is called the Croat-Muslim war and it had some of the most intense fighting of the war. There were also different factions of Bosnian Muslims fighting, as you had an autonomous area in the NW centered around Velika Kladusa and their leader, Fikret Abdic, was the one who won Bosnia's presidential election in 1990, but he was maneuvered by the radical Islamist Alija Izetbegovic in some kind of deal. But then Izetbegovic (Sarajevo government forces) ended up attack Fikret and his forces. And Serbs were not reacting to the WWII memories but to the attacks by Bosnian Muslims and Croats who created a mass grave of Serb children in Sijekovac, northern Bosnia, just before the war officially started. Croatia's army had invaded Bosnia, and they and the local Muslim forces (who had trained and participated in Croatia's war the previous year) started murdering Serbs. There is even an official signed Croatian military document where the Croatian commander, a Muslim, gives Croats permission to rape Bosnian Serb women. The mainstream media covered up what happened to Serbs in the recent war as these others were their PROXIES to break up Yugoslavia into little ethnically cleansed or divided statelets to be easier to dictate to and absorb into the EU and NATO. Serbs were in their way, as the Serbian population didn't want to live under the control of those intent to purge them. The census shows that the Bosnian Muslims gained percentage during the war which means they ethnically cleansed and killed others more than happened to them, but the media gives the impression of the opposite. Bosnia's capital, Sarajevo, is no longer considered multi-ethnic as it is almost pure Muslim. The same media and government which went on about "multi-ethnic Sarajevo" go silent when it becomes almost pure Muslim because that is what they wanted when they feigned that they were being humanitarian and were trying to sell to the public something that sounded good and positive.

@Sakhi_BH Alija Izetbegovic planned this after Tito's death. He and several other Bosniaks were tried and jailed for seeking help from terrorist groups against Yugoslavia.
2
@juznapticatb8242 The Chetniks resisted the foreign invaders and their proxies. It was always foreign powers meddling in the Balkans and using the others against Serbs. The Catholics and Muslims were on the Axis side in WWI and Nazi side in WWII.

@abvideoactive Muslims and Croats kept Serbs in grain silo concentration camps, such as the silo at Tarcin where Muslims kept 600 Serb civilians throughout the war. Croats and Muslims had many joint and separate camps, and when they turned against each other, they put each other in the camps where they held Serbs. There were also Muslim camps for each other, as you had Fikret Abdic and his army fighting against the Sarajevo government forces. From what I saw the largest numbers of POWs were these Muslim camps against each other.

Key NATO countries had long plans to break Yugoslavia up. Tito was just meant to put the territory "on ice" while they had the Soviet Union to contend with - they couldn't mettle without threat of the Soviets coming back to occupy it and while Germany was occupied. In is no coincidence that soon after Germany united the wars happened in Yugoslavia. Germany, US and the UK were the main ones wanting to break up Yugoslavia. UK even sold and delivered millions worth of military communication equipment to Slovenia just several days before the wars started.

@mrasabaharsa-kq2fn You have no photos nor documentation, and the only camps for children were run by Croats and Germans. The Red Cross nurses took hundreds of photos of emaciated Serb children they rescued from the Croatian camps. But they only took the ones who still had the strength to walk - and even many of them died.

Tito never expected for Yugoslavia to last after his death, and even told US reporters this back in the 1970's. And some of his and the communist governments changes to the Yugoslav constitution helped set up the wars to come. Only they were weakening Serbs and Serbia the whole time and strengthening the others. Tito also massacred people in a peasant uprising in Bosnia in the 1950's, which is one of many things not well known. Tito and the communists also massacred 100,000 Serbs AFTER the war ended as they were non-communists. Tito also allowed illegal immigration of Albanians into Kosmet and Yugoslavia and helped set up the theft of Kosmet from the Serbs. The communists also strengthened the TO (territorial defense) in the decades before the war. It was these TO which were used to attack the Yugoslav army. But the main reason for the wars was that the west didn't have to worry about the USSR and Germany was united, so it, the U.S. and UK could start their long awaited plans to break up Yugoslavia along old ethnic fault lines. U.S. was advising separatists, UK was selling and shipping millions worth of military communications equipment to Slovenia just several days before it started the first domino of the destruction of Yugoslavia. Germany and Austria were working with Slovenia for more than a decade before the wars towards separation from Yugoslavia. And just before Slovenia left their companies borrowed a lot of money from the government, squirreled the money away in Austrian banks, then declared bankruptcy, and never had to pay that money back. So they made a last steal from Yugoslavia while they could. The Slovenian banks also kept the savings of all non-Slovenes and never returned them. This included the savings of Croats, Bosnians, Serbs and others. Croatia tried to sue to get the money back but the foreign-controlled court favored Slovene.

@BosnianV1nie No, Ukraine sent arms to the Bosnian Muslims and Croats.
1
@sabinasb2445 No. The Ukrainians fought on the Croats' side and some of the UN Ukrainians helped smuggle arms to the Bosnian Muslims.

Yes they are perpetual enemies and Serbs should never trust them. However you should judge people as individuals only, as there are individual exceptions. But in general they should be looked at as enemies and not to be trusted.

@Theplanettera Yet Srebrenica was Serbian majority before WWI. Before WWI the Schutzkorps which "predominantly recruited among the Bosniak population" "was known for its part in the persecution of Serbs. They particularly targeted Serb populated areas of eastern Bosnia." So that is how the Muslims got majority in those areas in the first place. Srebrenica's commander, Naser Oric, killed a Serbian judge in Srebrenica at the beginning of the war, and other Serbs were decapitated. A Muslim who witnessed Oric detailing how he killed the judge and also eye witnessing other Serbs being killed (and there would be crowds gathering around when Serbs were killed) wanted to testify at Oric's trial, and even went there to testify, but was not allowed/called to testify. The whole trial was a sham as they didn't allow any evidence or testimony against Naser Oric, and instead wasted the whole trial on what OTHERS in Srebrenica did to Serbs, particularly the abuse of Serb prisoners/captives in Srebrenica's jails. So they ended up giving Oric a light sentence for "command responsibility" on the abuse and murder of Serb prisoners by prison guards and others INSTEAD of his actual murders of Serbs and destruction of Serb villages by him and the 28th Brigade.

@Theplanettera Bosnian Muslims and Croats were preparing for the war for over a years before it started, with many Bosnian Muslims training and participating in Croatia's war against its Serb population. They started as allies but then turned against each other - one of the reasons was the Muslims taking most of the weapons for themselves, killing Catholic Friars and other religious and also having a plan for putting BiH under Muslim domination. Alija Izetbegovic said himself that Islam couldn't co-exist in the same state with other religions. He meant that it had to rule and dominate. Once Croats started realizing this was what the Izetbegovic government was fighting for, the Croats and Muslims turned against each other for the Croat-Muslim war. Croats and Muslims then started putting each other in the same camps they had jointly or separately kept and abused Serbs. Their war was most intense in southern and central BiH, but in certain other areas they stayed cooperating during the war. The US and west pressured Croatia to keep the weapons pipeline into BiH open, which they did, even when Bosniaks were killing Serbs because the Croats would skim 10% of the weaponry for themselves. And US eventually got them united again after the Washington Accords. The US was using them against Serbs. The Bosnian Muslims and Croats are proxies of foreign powers, and pretty much always have been.

@MaxMax-zg9vn Among those that Tito and the communists massacred were Slovenes and Serbs. Serbs trying to flee were returned and killed. Tito saw Serbs as the biggest threat to his power and was mostly fighting them during the war. He killed 10s of thousands of Serbs after the war, and he and the top communists, most all non-Serbs, confiscated the nicest Serbian homes and properties for themselves and the government. After Tito the next most powerful were Slovenes Stane Dolanc and Edvard Kardelj. At end of WWII Serbia was also flooded by Montenegrin communists and still suffers from their corrupt descendants today.

@Sushram-ii1ey Croats are backstabbers because it was due to joining up with Serbs in the first Yugoslavia that they got Dalmatia and Slavonia - which were never an official part of Croatia before - and it was only under rule of Hungary that those regions were connected with Croatia for administration purposes. Serbs were the winning side at end of WWI and their soldiers controlled Dalmatia (and the Italians controlled a part too). So Dalmatia would have gone to the Serbs or divided between the Serbs and Italians or would have been a separate territory from Croatia. Similar with Slavonia. Croats and Slovenes both gained territory (Istria too) from joining up with Serbs and Yugoslavia.

Liar! The wars started from foreign countries using the Croats and Muslims as proxies against the Serbs. It was also Austria which occupied and annexed BiH. And the Jews were on Austria's and Germany's side in WWI and were involved in killings of Serbs and others and the Austrian concentration camps of Serbs in WWI. The Austrian and German Jews were called "revolver journalists" as they were whipping up hate and lies against the Serbs long before WWI. The Jews were fine with German murders of others in WWI, and it was only when Germans turned against them that they started claiming they cared about genocide. They didn't care about the Armenian genocide either.

@mrasabaharsa-kq2fn You are an ignorant balija. DNA shows Serbs aren't related to Turks. This surprised people who thought that Serbs living under Turkish occupation for 100s of years would leave an imprint. Yet Turks and Serbs most never mixed.
1
@amirdervisevic1487 UN and expert reports which showed the attacks came from Bosniak positions were squashed by Madeleine Albright. Further, the UN was kept out of areas that the Bosniak forces used, and the UN didn't know Bosniaks had positions there, so these areas were left out of the calculations which prevented correct reports.

He didn't serve a day in prison, and it was only after the helicopter pilot wrote letters to U.S. Congressmen and Senators for many months, was something done about it.

@DavidSaintloth You are brainwashed by the media on Bosnia which was using the Muslims and Croats as proxies against the Serbs, and covering up their attacks on Serbs which started before the Bosnian war officially began. Then you had the Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats turn against each other only 6 months into the Bosnian war, the so-called Croat-Muslim war, and their war was some of the most intense fighting of that war, left Mostar the most destroyed city in BiH, while the Muslims ethnically cleansed 100,000 Croats from central Bosnia. Only a US brokered peace dead, the Washington Accords, put them back together again, as the US wanted them to attack Serbs and not each other. There were even different factions of Bosnian Muslims fighting each other, and the one run by the moderate Muslim Fikret Abdic was allied with the Serbs. Fikret Abdic actually won the election for Bosnia's president in 1990, but the radical Islamist Alija Izetbegovic maneuvered him into some kind of deal and he agreed that Izetbegovic would be president. But then they went to war against each other later and in the end Fikret Abdic and 10s of thousands of Bosnian Muslims in the northwest were cleansed to Croatia where they lived in "chicken coop" conditions in camps.

The northern Croats are genetically different from the Southern Croats. The Southern Croats are high in the I Haplgroup which is the Haplogroup which distinguishes the South Slavs from the other Slavs who are R1a dominant. The northern Croats are high in R1a and are closer to Slovenes.

@herceg6772 Bosniaks had torture camps such as Celebici and many others. Bosniaks and Croats put each other in the camps where they had kept Serbs when they turned on each other. There were also different factions of Bosniaks, such as those of Fikret Abdic, a moderate Muslim. Izetbegovic's Muslims had camps for Abdic's Muslims and Abdic's Muslims had camps for the Izetbegovic/government forces.

@Bosniak333 The Bosniak 28th Brigade has a scorched-earth policy on the Serb villages all around Srebrenica and had destroyed scores by the end of summer 1992 alone. Bosniaks even mutilated and killed Serbs' livestock which shows it wasn't about food, but making it impossible for Serbs to live there.

@binkusdinkus8945 The census shows the Croat population went up percentage-wise and Croatia became much more pure Croat during the war. And it was the Croatian government ordering their people out of those contested areas. A UN officer who was in Croatia throughout that war and until 1998 said that Croats who didn't obey the order to leave received harassing and threatening phone calls from other Croats.
1
The census proves there was no genocide on the Bosnian Muslims nor Albanians and instead shows it was them who had ethnically cleansed and killed others the most. Their populations rose percentage-wise during the wars and they have the most ethnically purged statelets. Media muted their crimes while it hyped their lies and exaggerations as "news". The Albanian KLA were terrorists who initiated the killings and war and even killed Albanians who didn't support it or whom they deemed "collaborators".

@mrasabaharsa-kq2fn Srebrenica was a Bosnian Muslim military base with an entire brigade stationed there which carried out a scorched-earth policy on the Serb villages all around and slaughtered the Serbs in the most mutilating, gory fashion. Srebrenica's fall was arranged with the entire army and me walking out and headed to Tuzla even when the Serbs were there. The top commanders were taken to Tuzla 3 months before and were never brought back. So the planned evacuation of Srebrenica started at least in April 1995. The Bosnian Muslim army was ordered off their strong positions all around Srebrenica by their brigade commanders and told to gather in the north. At nightfall they started leaving in long columns. This was witnessed and documented by the UN. They fought running battles through Serb areas on the way to Tuzla but most all of them made it and many of the "missing" men were on the OSCE's Tuzla voter's list. They count their soldiers who died raiding Serb villages and from mines in 1992-1994 as Srebrenica "fall" victims. Srebrenica is media hype and lies. Sarajevo was a divided city during the war, and the Serb part, which corresponded to where Serbs were the majority, ended up the most damaged. Most of the damage was only the front lines which snaked through the city. Bosnian Muslims had the largest army and the most snipers in Sarajevo and UN officers testified that they shot at civilians and the UN and that they were using several buildings in the infamous Sniper's Alley. The Bosniak snipers knew the Serbs would be automatically blamed which encouraged them to keep doing it. There was no military nor other advantage for the Serbs. Bosniak forces were also the ones to initiate the shellings and mortar attacks. A UN officer testified that, when he was there, for a long period things would start out quiet, then at 6 a.m. the Bosniak forces would start shelling the Serb positions. It was the KLA which started the killings and war in Kosovo, and it was a KLA tactic to attack police and kill Serbs to try and cause a police crackdown. They wanted those to buy an excuse for western intervention. So KLA deliberately wanted to sacrifice some Albanians so NATO would have an excuse to help them. Bosniaks were decapitating Sarajevo Serb civilians and throwing their bodies down Kazani gorge.

@malimate2660 The Frankish Chronicles mention Serbs in the area in the early 800's - area around northern Bosnia and they also describe the Serbs as very numerous in Dalmatia. The Byzantines also deported 10s of thousands of Serbs living along the Vardar river, Macedonia, to Anatolia (modern day Turkey) and the Serbs formed a city called Gordoservon/Gordoserbon/Gordoserba "It is mentioned in several ecclesiastical sources from the period between the 7th and the 9th century. Most notably, the city is mentioned in the acts of the Council of Trullo (691-692), as a seat of bishop Isidore, who attended the council."

Where exactly in BiH and what years? Bosnia was a 4-way war as the Muslims and Croats turned against each other, Muslim-Croat war, from around October 1992 until February 1994, and there were also different factions of Bosnian Muslims, mainly Fikret Abdic, a moderate Muslim, and his army against the government forces with un elected President Alija Izetbegovic. Fikret Abdic actually won Bosnia's presidential election in 1990, but 2nd place Alija Izetbegovic made some kind of deal with him and Abdic went to control and area in the northwest centered around Velika Kladusa. Fikret Abdic was allied with the Serbs. The Croat-Muslim fighting was mostly in the south and central Bosnia. Croatia has soldiers stationed in Bosnia throughout the whole war but the international community kept silent about it even though they knew about it. Perhaps because Croatia also kept the pipelines for smuggling weapons to the Bosnian Muslims open despite Croat-Muslim fighting. Croatia would skim some of these arms shipments from Iran and other countries for the Muslims and take 10% of more of the weapons for itself.

@kavbojctinko4131 The Muslims were hating on the Serbs as well. The Austrians used them to ethnically cleanse Bosnian Serbs before WWI. Schutzkorps - It predominantly recruited among the Bosniak population and was known for its part in the persecution of Serbs. They particularly targeted Serb populated areas of eastern Bosnia.
1
@adnankamen6470 Bosniaks were a special project of Himmler who formed divisions with them. In WWI they were on the Axis powers and were slaughtering Serbs. They also killed Serbs before WWI as part of the Schutzkorps.

What years and what places there?

@spudeleven5124 Did you know of Lavdrim Muhaxheri who worked there until 2010?

@spudeleven5124 Google his name and you'll see, but more about the "work" he did after.
