In the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, conflict between the three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims, resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against the Muslims in Bosnia. Bosnia is one of several small countries that emerged from the break-up of Yugoslavia, a multicultural country created after World War I by the victorious Western Allies. Yugoslavia was composed of ethnic and religious groups that had been historical rivals, even bitter enemies, including the Serbs (Orthodox Christians), Croats (Catholics) and ethnic Albanians (Muslims).

Former Yugoslavia
Ethnic Groups During World War II, Yugoslavia was invaded by Nazi Germany and was partitioned. A fierce resistance movement sprang up led by Josip Tito. Following Germany's defeat, Tito reunified Yugoslavia under the slogan "Brotherhood and Unity," merging together Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, along with two self-governing provinces, Kosovo and Vojvodina. Tito, a Communist, was a strong leader who maintained ties with the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War, playing one superpower against the other while obtaining financial assistance and other aid from both. After his death in 1980 and without his strong leadership, Yugoslavia quickly plunged into political and economic chaos.

Encountering the Past: History at the Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal
By Robert J. Donia
Robert Donia received his Ph.D. in history at the U-M in 1976 specializing in Southeastern Europe. He is a frequent consultant to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. He lives in San Diego, California and is an adjunct assistant research scientist, Center for Russian and East European Studies at the U-M. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has been in business a little over 10 years. Many critics, led by Bush Administration officials, have argued that the proceedings have dragged on too long and that ICTY should conclude its work in the next few years. I disagree. Well below the radar of the international media, the tribunal's recent judgments have demonstrated a thorough, careful and conservative application of international humanitarian law to the crimes of the Yugoslav conflict. This development should be hailed, rather than scorned, by Americans and their government. When the trials began, most judges were wholly unfamiliar with the history and culture of the region in which the alleged crimes were committed. Appointed by the UN Secretary General, judges have come from China, Guyana, Jamaica, Korea, Malta, Morocco, the United States and over two dozen other nations, but none from the region of the former Yugoslavia. As part of their cautious approach to decisions, judges have carefully considered the implications of the region's history in the cases they try. International law and regional history have met one another in the Hague tribunal's three courtrooms. In an unusual series of confrontations between rival interpretations, the prosecution and defense have each engaged historians as expert witnesses to aid the judges in reaching their decisions. The tribunal's caution and thoroughness can be seen at the nexus of law and history in its recent judgments.

The 60th anniversary of the end of World War II was marked in former Yugoslavia on or around 9 May with the customary laying of wreaths and holding of speeches, most of which centered on the role of the "antifascist" Partizan movement led by Josip Broz Tito. Some ceremonies in Serbia honored the Ravna Gora Chetnik movement led by royal Yugoslav General Draza Mihailovic, whom some regard as a hero but others consider a collaborator (see "RFE/RL Balkan Report," 22 April 2005).
Elsewhere, the Croatian survivors of the May 1945 Bleiburg tragedy made plans for a commemoration on 14 May. Croatian historian Ivo Goldstein notes that up to 55,000 conscripts and civilians, as well as pro-Axis Ustashe troops, died after the war officially ended at the hands of the Partizan forces at Bleiburg, Austria, or on subsequent death marches. Among those scheduled to be present at the commemoration are Vladimir Seks, who is speaker of the Croatian parliament, and Roman Catholic Cardinal Vinko Puljic, who is the first cardinal in Bosnian history.

Marko lives just an hour away from the Croatian border. But he had never met a Croat until April this year, when he came to a unique peace and reconciliation event for children of the former Yugoslavia. All he knew about Croats were the stories his father told about fighting them. Marko learned about the brave Serb soldiers battling against Catholic Croats to protect their Orthodox brothers. And he learned about the expulsion of thousands of Serbs by the Croatian army in the final offensive. Marko fidgeted uncomfortably as he talked about his feelings towards Croats. He was much happier playing ping-pong with his new best friend, Denis, a boy his age from the Croatian village of Lug.

The period of Croatia within ex-Yugoslavia
It is interesting that the greatest promoters of creating a state of the Southern Slavs, i.e. the idea of Yugoslavia, were the Croats ( Josip Juraj Strossmayer on the first place), but they did not conceive of it as the centralized, Serb-dominated state. Their aim was to preserve the Croatian national identity and the sovereignty of Croatia and to organize the new state of South Slavs on a confederative basis.
See Strossmayer's absolute no to union with Serbs by academician Josip Pecaric (in Croatian). That is why the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, established in 1918, did not obtain the confirmation and permission of the Croatian Parliament. This state, created in 1918 from the Austro-Hungarian part , (Slovenia, Croatia, Vojvodina, Bosnia-Herzegovina) and Serbia and Montenegro , which were opposing sides during the First World War (1914-1918), contained a germ of numerous future conflicts. It was composed of different traditions, religions, nations, languages and scripts. At that time the region of Vojvodina did not include Srijem (the territory between rivers Sava and Danube), that before 1918 belonged to Croatia. Vojvodina belonged to Hungary before 1918.

Maribor Situated on the Drava River, the city of Maribor gradually grew around a fortress castle built sometime in the vicinity of the eleventh century. Its medieval synagogue, recently restored, is one of the few surviving synagogues from this era in central Europe and is one of Slovenia’s most important Jewish relics. A Jewish community is first mentioned in Maribor in 1277. The Jewish quarter in Maribor was situated in the old town near the southwest corner of the town walls, above the river. The area is still known as Zidovska ulica (Jewish street). Adjacent to the synagogue was the Jewish cemetery, the Rabbi’s house and the school; the

For 20 broken relationships they transported videoletters back and forth over the borders of nationality, race, religion, fear and shame. Starting on the 7th of April, their documentaries will be aired on the 7 public channels of all the countries of former Yugoslavia.

Islamic Politics in the Balkans: A Short History
Metta Spencer As this entire issue of Peace Magazine makes clear, there is no single, monolithic Islamic political perspective based on a shared faith. Instead, each society where Muslims live has its own set of political controversies, and in each locale the most common point of view may be quite distinctive from the prevailing opinions in other countries. Here we shall review the current perspectives of Muslims in the Balkan states, which differ from one ethnic community to another, yet which share a widespread view of the United States as a friend and benefactor. A substantial number of people in the Balkans (especially in the southern regions) are Muslim, but that does not mean they are culturally similar. We should distinguish especially between the Muslims of Bosnia (Serbo-Croatian speaking Slavs whose ancestors adopted Islam while their country was part of the Ottoman Empire) and Muslim Albanians, a community with an unrelated language, living especially in Albania proper, as well as in Kosovo, Montenegro and South Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, and Italy. The Albanians have inhabited Balkan areas since ancient times, when they were known as Illyrians. YUGOSLAVIA BREAKS APART Throughout the past decade, the former Yugoslavia has been breaking apart. The conflict flared up over the Serbian nationalists' dominance in Kosovo, but the actual fragmentation of the Yugoslav federation started instead with the withdrawal of other provinces: in 1991 Slovenia, Croatia, and Macedonia, and in 1992 Bosnia-Herzegovina - all of these (except Macedonia) by wars against Serbia. Nor did Macedonia itself evade serious conflict, since Greece objected to the republic's choice of a Hellenic name and maintained a blockade against it until 1995. (The matter was resolved only when it was named "The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.") Thereafter, the new (rump) Yugoslavia comprised only Serbia (with its two subordinate provinces, Vojvodina in the north, and Kosovo in the south) plus Montenegro, which despite considerable ambivalence did not then claim independence.

According to D. Obolenski "...the Balkan Peninsula was a land bridge between the Byzantine and Latin cultures." The merging and imbuing properties of the Balkan peninsula and Europe, Asia and Africa are conditioned by the geographical position, the strike of the mountain ranges, the river valleys, the communications, etc. The third one, the isolating and repelling property of the Balkan peninsula is also conditioned by the same factors. By its population, size of the territory, location, ethnic and religious structures, diversity of the economic and social development of its parts the former Yugoslavia used to be the most important state on the Balkan peninsula, in which all geographical and other specific features of the Balkans were interwoven. In spite of these facts the Serbs did not succeed in forming the Serbian national state as they were impeded by the powerful countries such as Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, France, and Germany.

Home A Short History of Women in Black In January 1988, one month after the first Palestinian Intifada broke out, a small group of Israeli and Palestinian women stood once a week, at the same hour and at the same location - a major traffic intersection in Israel. They were dressed in black and held up a black sign in the shape of a hand with "Stop the Occupation" written in white. 'It was a simple form of protest that women could do easily... We could bring our children, there was no chanting or marching, and the medium was the message. Within months vigils sprang up throughout Israel' Bat Shalom - Israeli women's peace organisation Women in Black were inspired by earlier "women wearing black" like the Black Sash, in South Africa, and the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, seeking the 'disappeared' in Argentina. WiB in the UK also developed from women refusing violence, militarism and war, like the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, formed in 1915, and the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, which successfully opposed the deployment of US missiles throughout the 1980's. The Israeli/Palestinian WiB vigils initiated a formula that was taken up in many other countries. Vigils were regular and predictable: same place, same time each week. Women wore black and were mainly silent. They were seen by many passers-by, some of whom heckled and abused them as 'whores' and 'traitors'. Their policy was not to shout back but to maintain silence and dignity.

The Uses of History: Reflections on the Fall of Yugoslavia Kai Erikson Report of an 10/23/03 "Beyond History and Memory" seminar, a series cosponsored by the Council's History and the Politics of Reconciliation Program and Columbia University
Kai Erikson’s project here is exploring what causes violence to break out between people who have lived peacefully as neighbors for the majority of their history. How do people with similar customs and life-styles, living and working side by side, often even intermarrying, begin to see themselves as belonging to ethnically distinct and hostile groups, and how does this breakdown into polarized identities lead to extreme acts of violence? Can the process be foreseen? What can the memories of people who lived through this process themselves tell us about how it started and spiraled out of control? In addressing these questions, distinguished sociologist Kai Erikson described his many journeys to the town of Pakrac, in the former Yugoslavia, beginning during the war in 1992, and the interviews he conducted with current and former residents of the town.
Neighbors into Enemies
Pakrac is a town in Western Slavonia , now part of the post-Yugoslav independent state of Croatia. The town was settled by Serb refugees during the Hapsburg period, and by the 1990s the population of 8,200 was roughly half Serb and half Croatian. Close to half the marriages in the town were ethnically mixed. In 1991, the town was divided by the UN down its center, with Serbs on one side and Croats on the other. The line of demarcation separated former friends, neighbors and families; many inhabitants of the town found themselves separated from at least one parent. During “Operation Flash,” in 1995, the town was overrun by the Croatian Army, after which it became part of Croatia, with most Serb inhabitants fleeing to Serbia, frequently to the town of Banja Luka, which, in its turn, had been “ethnically cleansed” of its many prewar non-Serb inhabitants.

History of Balkan conflict
Yugoslav Republics: Serbia and Montenegro remain joined in a truncated Yugoslav federation. Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia and Bosnia-Herzegovina have each declared independence. Fighting: War erupted in June 1991 after Slovenia and Croatia declared independence. Slovenia's war ended in less than a month with under 70 dead. Croatia's war of secession against Serb rebels backed by the Yugoslav army lasted six months and killed an estimated 10,000 people. A tenuous cease-fire took hold in January 1992. In April 1992, Bosnian Serbs rebelled against Bosnia's independence and an estimated 200,000 people have died and millions lost their homes in their war against the Muslim-led government. People and religion: Serbs are Orthodox Christians; Croats are Roman Catholic; Bosnia's Muslims are Slavs who adopted their faith during centuries of Ottoman Turkish rule. History: Croatia was under Austro-Hungarian rule until Yugoslavia was formed in 1918. Its Serb minority - about 12% of the population - was introduced by the Habsburgs into border areas as good fighters against Ottoman incursions. Bosnia-Herzegovina was under Ottoman, then briefly under Austro-Hungarian rule before 1918. In 1991, its population was:
