	Bosnian Muslim War Crimes \| Carl Savich \| Columns \| Serbianna.com
		The case proves conclusively that Bosnian Muslim forces were not “victims”, but well-armed and well-supplied military forces that committed horrendous war crimes and crimes against humanity in premeditated and ritual murders of Bosnian Serb civilians.
		The glaring omission was the ritual beheading of Bosnian Serb Dragan Popovic and the murders and tortures of Bosnian Serb and Croat civilians and POWs.
		The “local” Bosnian Muslims at the camp were former members of the Muslim Forces of Travnik and troops who were by law members of units of the 3rd Corps, the 7th Muslim Brigade and the 306th Brigade.

	Bosnia
		The Bosnian Serbs counted on the might of the Serb-dominated Yugoslav Army, and undertook to grab all of Bosnia for a Greater Serbia, forcing out all the Muslims and Croats in the process.
		The Yugoslav Army, which by now was effectively the Serbian Army, immediatley began aiding the Bosnian Serb paramilitary groups in attacking the civilian populations of Bosnian Muslims and Croats.
		Lacking both the strength to take on the Serb military or the resolve to get involved in the confusion, the UN force simply sat by and was ignored by both groups once it was obvious they weren't going to actually do anything.

	Dr. Raymond Kent - The Hague Tribunal
		It was the massive Croat purge of western Slavonia's Serbs that ushered in and provoked the "modern" post-World War II "ethnic cleansing" which was pinned exclusively on the Serbs in 1992, some months after the whole of Western Slavonia was "freed" and left to the Croats alone.
		Involving the loss of the lives of several hundred thousand Serb men, women and children in the two regions, that was by far the most bestial example of war crimes in all of Europe under the German Nazi hegemony.
		Until the Serbs, the Croats, and the Bosnian Muslims come to genuinely agree, on the basis of self-interest and insurance against future counter-reprisals, to deal directly with their own war criminals, neither the cause of justice nor that of enduring peace, will be served.

	Bosnian Serb leader sentences to 27 years - Europe - International Herald Tribune
		A senior wartime leader of Bosnian Serbs, Momcilo Krajisnik, was sentenced Wednesday to 27 years in prison for his role in the violent campaign to make large parts of Bosnia an ethnically pure Serb region.
		The sentence drew angry reactions from Serbs, who claimed the punishment was further proof of the tribunal's anti-Serb bias, and from Bosnian Muslims who said the partial acquittal and sentence were an affront to the many victims of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war.
		An economist by training, the hard-line Serb nationalist became the right-hand man of Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader who remains a fugitive of the court.

	Bosnia Handout
		The apparently systematic, widespread nature of Serb actions strongly suggests that, from the beginning of the conflict, Bosnian Serb political and military leaders have played a central role in the purposeful destruction and dispersal of Bosnia's non-Serb population.
		The Muslim population was about equal to that of Serbs in the northwestern town of Prijedor (39 and 40 percent, respectively), as well as in the larger opstina of Prijedor (44 and 43 percent, respectively).
		Numerous Bosnian refugees have indicated that both Bosnian Serb and Serbian paramilitary units initially operated in conjunction with the JNA and later the BSA, as well as local police forces, to seize control of territory and ethnically cleanse areas in 1992.

		It stated that the Bosnian Serb Parliament was "determined to accept the European standards and principles in regard to the police reform" as laid out by the EU.

		The biggest casualties of the Ashdown purge were the SDS leader and speaker of the Bosnian Serb parliament, Dragan Kalinic, and the Bosnian Serb police chief, Zoran Djeric.

		A procession of displaced Bosnian Muslims testified in The Hague this week as the trial of top war-time Bosnian Serb political leader Momcilo Krajisnik resumed after the tribunal’s summer recess.
		The prosecution is trying to prove that Krajisnik, the ex-speaker of the Bosnian Serb parliament who was the right-hand man of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, was one of the masterminds behind the “joint criminal enterprise” to rid Serb-controlled parts of Bosnia of other ethnic groups.
		The Serbs asked for something that was impossible,” said Redzic, adding that in his view these negotiations were only meant to complicate the Muslims’; lives in order to drive them out of the area.
