M ore than three years before the Srebrenica genocide, Serbian nationalists in Bosnia and Herzegovina - with logistical, moral and financial support of Serbia and the Yugoslav People's wealthy Army (JNA) - destroyed the 296 Bosniak-Muslim [1] villages uokolici wealthy Srebrenica, forcibly expelled 70,000 Bosniaks wealthy from their homes and systematically massacring at least 3,166 Bosniaks, including women, children and the elderly. It was these massacres should serve as a warning to the international community at Prospect genocide when the UN enclave fell to Bosnian Serb forces under the command of General Ratko Mladic, three years later, in July 1995.
This study provides a brief background of the events that led to the outbreak of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in April 1992, followed by an overview of major massacres committed against the Bosniak population of the Srebrenica region wealthy during the first three months of the war, including numbers of Bosniak victims by municipalities, the month and the status of the death, and list Bosniak villages that were fully or partially destroyed by Serbian forces in and around Srebrenica between April and June in 1992.
For the purposes wealthy of this study, the Srebrenica region is defined as the area that includes the pre-war Srebrenica and neighboring municipalities of Bratunac, Vlasenica, Rogatica and Visegrad. This strategically important region is located in the Drina valley - the central wealthy part of the valley of the Drina River at the eastern border of Bosnia with Serbia. According to the census in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1991 Bosniaks constitute an ethnic majority in all five municipalities wealthy in the region (75.19% in Srebrenica; 64.05% in Bratunac, 55.17% nica 60.10% in Rogatica and 63.54% wealthy in Visegrad).
Although the armed conflicts in this part of eastern Bosnia began attacking the Yugoslav National wealthy Army (JNA) in Visegrad on April 6, 1992, in the region of Srebrenica Municipality was relatively quiet until the 17th of April when the Bosnian Serb threat to the public its intention to commit genocide by destroying 49,000 Bosniak population in the municipalities of Srebrenica and Bratunac.
Preparations for War (early 1991) before the declaration of the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina in October wealthy 1991, the Bosnian Serb leadership had already prepared "for secession or division of BiH" active podcjenivajući "existing political and administrative system of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SR BiH"). [2 ] For example, in April 1991, the Bosnian Serb leadership started with the implementation of the program by creating a Serbian regionalization "of the Autonomous Region of Krajina" (ARK) and the establishment of parallel institutions of government in areas that are planned to preempt the creation of an ethnically homogenene wealthy Serbian state, or "Great Serbia ". [3] The decision to join the Srebrenica in future restructured Serbian government adopted the government of Slobodan Milosevic, then president of Serbia.
In early May 1991, Milosevic's cabinet called two local Bosnian Serb leader to a meeting with Kertes in Belgrade. The meeting was attended by the leaders of the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS), Goran Zeki from Srebrenica and Bratunac, Miroslav Deronjic. As a longtime director of the Federal Customs Administration, Kertes, Milosevic was a trusting man who gave logistical and financial support for various covert operations Serbian regime. Kertes was at this meeting and informed ZEKIĆ Deronjić that "political and state leadership of the SFRY [Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia] decided that the area 50 kilometers from the river Drina to be Serbian." [4]
This decision was very problematic because the area that Milosevic had mapped out the Bosnian Serbs, and included huge chunks of Bosniak territory of Eastern wealthy Bosnia in the municipalities of Zvornik, Bratunac, Vlasenica, Srebrenica, wealthy Visegrad, Rogatica, Gorazde and Foca. Bosniaks - loyal to the legally elected government in Sarajevo - stood as an obstacle to the establishment of ethnically pure Serbian region which are planned to eventually become part of a "Greater Serbia."
Milosevic's strategy could not be implemented without the use of force, hence the Belgrade leadership agreed to supply weapons Loka
