Serbs (in the Serbian language Срби, Srbi) are a south Slavic people living chiefly in Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Large Serb populations also live in Croatia (largely in the entity that during the 1990s constituted the internationally unrecognized Republic of Serbian Krajina) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (where they are a constituent nation), principally in the Republika Srpska, one of the country's two entities.
At the beginning of the 20th century, many Serbs were still under foreign rule – that of the Ottomans in the south and of the Austrians in the north and west.

The Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija are advocating a comprehensive process of decentralization, primarily the forming of new multi-ethnic municipalities with a clear Serb majority.
In order for the basic interests of the Serb community to be protected in Kosovo, new municipalities must be formed, with a clear Serb majority, in areas that have been populated mainly by the Serbs until 1999.
The last of demands of the Serb Ticket is that true decentralization be carried out by mid-2006, in order for the Serb and other minority communities to be able to prepare for local elections at the end of that year.

 Bosnian Serbs Compile Srebrenica List | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 05.10.2005
The Bosnian Serb government has drawn up a list of 19,473 former soldiers who operated in the region of Srebrenica at the time of the massacre there in 1995, officials said.
The international community had asked the Bosnian Serb government to provide prosecutors in Bosnia with a full list of the names of those deployed in the area at the time of the massacre, in which more than 7,000 Muslim males were killed.
Bosnian Serbs had previously downplayed the slaughter, the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II, which has been classified as an act of genocide by the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague.

 Claensing Serbs from Western Slavonia
The survival of ethnic Serbs in the villages around Slavonska Pozega could not be treated in the same manner as in the city itself, since those people based their existence on their own private property and generally lived in villages where they were the majority.
Some corpses were temporarily buried in hidden places by surviving ethnic Serbs, who survived due to the circumstance that they happened to be in fields or in cellars of their houses at the time of the Croatian pogrom against ethnic Serbs.
There is no reason for ethnic Serbs, as the hardest hit ethnic group in the process of ethnic cleansing in individual parts of former Yugoslavia, to deny other ethnic groups the right to peacefully live on their centuries old homesteads, just as no-one else should deny that same right to ethnic Serbs.

 Serbia Today, 97-03-19
With the approach of the local elections for the county (zupanija) chamber of the Parliament (Sabor) of the Republic of Croatia, which according to the local media interpretations "are exclusively in the function of establishing Croat authority in the Danube river basin (Podunavlje)", the anti-Serbian campaign is also being intensified.
Initially this list consisted of 3000 names, then of 1500 to be followed by 700 and under the pressure by the UNTAES to be reduced to 150 names.
Journalists asked Klein why is he returning this list and demanding evidence incriminating the suspected Serbs, when he is neither a judge nor a lawyer.

Odobasic said the commission had begun investigating the RS government’s list of names of those allegedly killed by Bosniak army forces in Sarajevo.
It had so far discovered that six of those on the list were still alive, and that hundreds were fake names or names of people who had never lived in Sarajevo.

 [www.ANTIC.org] Serbian assassination tied to Western pressure
In some ways, many Serbs say, the West squeezed Djindjic to death in a too-tight embrace of specific demands for reform and extradition of war criminals, and tied the delivery of desperately needed foreign aid to those conditions.
For many Serbs, the answer is The Hague, where there is a growing list of Serbs wanted by the international prosecutor to stand trial, along with Milosevic himself, before the international war-crimes tribunal.
But the prosecutor in The Hague, Carla Del Ponte, has a longer list, and among those on it is understood to be Legija himself, who has been accused of war crimes in Bosnia and Croatia.

The arrest of Serbs is an attestation of the official policy - to purge Croatia of the remaining Serbs.
However, hatred still moves Croatia's policy, as the mass Serb trials and the discovery of "spies" attest, enriching the process for cleansing Croatia until it is ethnically pure.

Given that there have already been some threats from individual Serbs of widespread destruction of property before they leave the region, UNTAES must be prepared for the situation to worsen.

In "a new Yugoslavia" the Serbs would surely be right to insist on a federally enforceable bill of rights and a federal ban on incitement to racial violence.
Of course Serbs too would benefit from a "federally enforceable bill of rights and a federal ban on incitement to violence." Unfortunately the chief obstacle to any such bill of rights, either within Serbia or in the federation as a whole, is Miloševíc himself, who seems determined to restore the Titoist model.

Although the Crisis Group admits there are other war criminals at large from Bosnia’s two other ethnic groups, the think tank chose to compile a list of Serbs because local authorities in the Serbian Republic haven’t arrested a single alleged war criminal since the peace deal was signed in November 1995.
Some of the politicians on the Group’s list have been sanctioned to serve in public office by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the group that has been running the elections in the country.
One prominent member from that list, former Bosnian Serb president Biljana Plavsic, recently surrendered to the tribunal when her indictment was made public.
