		Bosnia is located in the western Balkans, bordering Croatia to the north and south-west, and Serbia and Montenegro to the east.

	Finally the U.S. Takes the Lead in Bosnia
		Therefore, for the following two years Bosnian Serbs, who constituted 31 percent of the pre-independence population of Bosnia but were occupying 70 percent of the land, undertook with impunity vicious and often murderous "ethnic cleansing" measures against Muslims and Croats, who had constituted 44 percent and 17 percent of the population respectively.
		The Bosnian government, a multi-sectarian institution in which Serb and Croat military and civilian officials were represented along with the predominant Muslims, dug in to hold the cities, but remained largely dependent upon United Nations troops to feed the civilian populations and, in the case of six "safe areas" including the capital, Sarajevo, protect them.
		Bosnian Serb authority was divided between Karadzic, a demagogic orator who had just unsuccessfully tried to strip Mladic of his military command, and Mladic, a sadistic and probably mentally unbalanced commander who was rumored to have personally presided over the execution of some 2,000 of the missing men of Srebrenica.
