	Bosnia And Hercegovina: Unfinished Business - The War Years In Bijeljina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The non-Serb inhabitants of Bijeljina and Janja hardly resisted the take-over of their towns by Bosnian Serb forces and handed over the few weapons they owned, hoping that by cooperating with the new authorities they would be allowed to stay and go on living their lives as Bosniaks under the new Bosnian Serb authorities.
		As one Bosniak from Bijeljina put it: "Every Serb with a gun could come [into your house] and take anything [he] liked."33 Bosniaks were harassed in many ways: most were fired from their jobs, forced into the army, or forced to perform work obligations (radne obaveze).
		The ultimate aim of the takeover of Bijeljina was to create an ethnically clean area, i.e., to force all, or at least the vast majority, of non-Serbs living in the Bijeljina area to leave.

		The UN Security Council has adopted a presidential resolution (September 2) in which the Bosnian Serbs are required to immediately cease ethnic cleansing operations in the Bijeljina region.
		UNHCR spokesman Peter Kessler announced that the expulsions were "accompanied by ethnic terrorism" - there were a few cases of rape, and jewelry and money were systematically taken from those driven from their homes.
		The question that is now being asked is why the practice of ethnic cleansing, which, after its largest manifestations in 1992, was generally confined to isolated incidents, has reappeared.

		Reuters reports that on 23 August Bosnian Serb forces drove 250 Muslims out of the east Bosnian Bijeljina region, in what appears to be a renewed and concerted round of ethnic cleansing.
		If they continue at the same rate, according to one UN spokesman, the ethnic cleansing could be "complete in some ten weeks." It is believed that Vojislav Djurkovic, or Vojkan as he is also known, a major in the Bosnian Serb army, is largely responsible for the recent waves of expulsions in Bijeljina.
		Bijeljina was captured by Bosnian Serb forces in April 1992, and subjected at that time to intense anti-Muslim campaigns.

		With direct reference to the Region, several cases have been reported of persons who, despite having received clearance from the Croatian authorities, were arrested either in the Zone of Separation or upon their entry into Croatia proper.
		For everyone in the Region to be duly registered, an estimated 100,000 citizenship documents will have to be issued before the end of the transition period, which is to say by 15 July 1997.
		While maintaining her call for continued economic assistance to the countries in her mandate for their reconstruction, the Special Rapporteur believes that local authorities must be kept aware that such assistance (to be distinguished from emergency humanitarian aid) depends expressly on their demonstrated respect for the principles of international human rights.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1998
		Yet in all the reports of Balkan progress and backsliding two key elements are seldom investigated in any depth: the role of kinship and the role of religion.
		Significantly, Yugoslav peoples also spoke as many as 26 different "regional" languages, of which Albanian was the major tongue in some areas, while Pomaks (Muslim Slavs who speak Bulgarian as their mother tongue) predominated elsewhere, and Ruthenian could be heard more often than Serbo-Croatian in other locales.
		Most prominent among these paramilitary groups were "The Tigers" of Zeljko Raznatovic--more popularly known as Arkan--whose militia began the "ethnic cleansing" of the Bijeljina region of Eastern Slavonia in 1992.[20] Although the Tribunal did not indict Arkan or his Tigers as a result of these tapes, some noteworthy symbolism appears in the footage.

		The slow rate of progress in police restructuring in the Federation is the result of the considerable barriers erected by Croat and Bosniac officials in ethnically mixed cantons to the conclusion and implementation of agreements.
