    Extractions: Yugoslavia took shape around a Serbian core during a series of wars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as the Ottoman Turkish Empire gradually lost control of its Balkan territories. In 1917, the Pact of Corfu proclaimed that all Yugoslavs (meaning southern Slavs) would unite after World War I to form a kingdom under the Serbian Royal House The nation was occupied by Germany during World War II. Two guerrilla armies the Chetniks under Draza Mihajlovic supporting the monarchy and the Partisans under Marshal Tito leaning toward the U.S.S.R. fought the Nazis for the duration of the war. At the end of World War II, the monarchy was abolished and Communist Party leader Tito proclaimed the country the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, with himself as prime minister. Eliminating opposition, the Tito government executed Mihajlovic in 1946. Tito died in 1980, and the fragility of the federation he ruled quickly became apparent. Three ethnic groups fell into conflict: Serbs dominant in Yugoslavia's politics and army, living mainly in Serbia and Montenegro but with large minorities in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Orthodox Christianity makes them natural allies of Russia.

    http://galileo.spaceports.com/~booknook/bosnia.html
    
    Extractions: by Chuck Sudetic Quality Paperback "There is a method to presenting the reality of war in [New York] Times style," writes Chuck Sudetic, "a restrictive method but a perfectly valid one just the same. It focuses mainly on institutions and political leaders and their duties and decisions, while leaving the common folk to exemplify trends, to serve as types: a fallen soldier, a screaming mother, a dead baby.... The method is described by various terms: detachment, disinterestedness, dispassion, distancing, and others with negative prefixes engineered to obliterate any relationship between observer and observed." Although Sudetic was able to maintain his detachment for the numerous stories he filed from the frontlines of the Bosnian war for the Times, it could not ultimately last. "Blood and Vengeance" examines the events leading up to the July 1995 genocidal massacre that took place in and around the town of Srebenica from the perspective of the Celik family (to whom the author is related by marriage). Sudetic ably blends the intimate chaos and terror of the Celiks' lives with broader historical and contemporary accounts that provide a fuller context for what happened. The people here are not types, but vividly portrayed individuals in whose lives the reader gradually becomes absorbed. This book ranks with Peter Maass's "Love Thy Neighbor" as one of the closest - and most chilling - looks at the tumultuous events that shattered post-cold war Eastern Europe.

    http://www.ess.uwe.ac.uk/genocide/reviewy2.htm
    
    Extractions: Noel Malcolm, a former editor of the Spectator and currently a political commentator for London's Daily Telegraph, has undertaken to write a political and social history of Bosnia. According the book jacket, this work is the "first-ever full history of Bosnia," and it fulfills a need in light of the fighting that is taking place in Bosnia today. The motivation of this work is to place the current conflict in Bosnia-Hercegovina in the proper historical perspective. Specifically, Malcolm seeks to clarify the competing myths of the racial, religious and political history put forth by each side in the conflict. In his introduction, Malcolm writes that the war...has added two melancholy reasons for examining its history more closely: the first is the need to understand the origins of the fighting and the second is the need to dispel some of the clouds of misunderstanding, deliberate myth-making, and sheer ignorance in which all discussion of Bosnia and its history had become shrouded. (Malcolm, p. xix) The work is divided into the following sixteen chapters: Race, Myths and Origins: Bosnia to 1180

    Extractions: Jewish History of Bosnia and Hercegovina Bosnia and Hercegovina (1994 estimated population 4,651,000), 19,741 square miles (51,129 square kilometers), Southern Europe, on the Balkan peninsula; formerly a constituent republic of Yugoslavia. The country is bordered by Croatia (South West, West, and North) and Yugoslavia (East and South East) and is almost entirely landlocked except for a narrow, undeveloped outlet to the Adriatic along the Neretva River. After independence (1992), the nation was splintered and devastated by ethnic warfare. Bosnia lies to the north of Hercegovina; both are largely within the Dinaric Alps. Bosnia is ethnically diverse, but ethnic fighting since independence has displaced many, especially Bosnian Muslims. About 40% of the population are Bosnian Muslims, 30% are Serbs, and 18% are Croats; all speak Serbo-Croatian. The Serbs largely belong to the Serbian Orthodox Church, and the Croats to the Roman Catholic Church. Sarajevo city (1987 estimated population 341,250)in the capital of Bosnia And Hercegovina on the Bosnia River. The majority of the population are Muslims of South Slavic descent. Founded in 1263, the city was held by the Turks from 1429 and passed to Austria-Hungary in 1878. Sarajevo became the capital of independent Bosnia in 1992 and has been under siege by Bosnian Serbs since April 1992, although the siege has eased at times (most recently beginning in late 1995) after air attacks on Serb positions by Nato. The city was the site of the 1984 winter Olympic games.

    Extractions: History For the first centuries of the Christian era, Bosnia was part of the Roman Empire. After the fall of Rome, Bosnia was contested by Byzantium and Rome's successors in the West. Slavs settled the region in the 7th century, and the kingdoms of Serbia and Croatia split control of Bosnia in the 9th century. The 11th and 12th centuries saw the rule of the region by the kingdom of Hungary. The medieval kingdom of Bosnia gained its independence around 1200 A.D. Bosnia remained independent up until 1463, when Ottoman Turks conquered the region. During Ottoman rule, many Bosnians dropped their ties to Christianity in favor of Islam. Bosnia was under Ottoman rule until 1878, when it was given to Austria-Hungary as a colony. While those living in Bosnia enjoyed the benefits of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, South Slavs in Serbia and elsewhere were calling for a South Slav state; World War I began when Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo. Following the Great War, Bosnia became part of the South Slav state of Yugoslavia, only to be given to Nazi-puppet Croatia in World War II. The Cold War saw the establishment of the Communist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under Tito, and the reestablishment of Bosnia as a republic with its medieval borders. Yugoslavia's unraveling was hastened by the rise of Slobodan Milosevic to power in 1986. Milosevic's embrace of the Serb nationalist agenda led to intrastate ethnic strife. Slovenia and Croatia both declared independence in 1991, and Bosnia-Herzegovina soon followed. In February 1992, the Bosnian Government held a referendum on independence, and Bosnian Serbs, supported by neighboring Serbia, responded with armed resistance in an effort to partition the republic along ethnic lines in an attempt to create a "greater Serbia." Muslims and Croats in Bosnia signed an agreement in March 1994 creating the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This narrowed the field of warring parties down to two. The conflict continued through most of 1995, ending with the Dayton Peace Agreement signed on November 21, 1995 (the final version was signed December 14, 1995 in Paris). The Muslim/Croat Federation, along with the Serb-led Republika Srpska, make up Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Quiz A gorgeous spring day in the Balkans in April 1992 and we were on the move from Belgrade to Bosnia. So was Slobodan Milosevic's military machine. The war was just beginning and the dilemma for reporters was where to go. An American colleague and I, along with Amra, our resourceful Belgrade translator, rented a car and headed from Belgrade into south-west Serbia towards the Bosnian border in the hope of getting across. Bosnia's was by far the worst of the Balkan wars, the sole indictment of the three against Mr Milosevic to charge him with genocide. We had seen the Yugoslav (Serb) army in action in Vukovar and Dubrovnik in Croatia the previous year. We knew what to expect. Yet still we were dumbfounded by what we stumbled across.

    Extractions: Gorazde Info :: History Gorazde is situated on the banks of the River Drina in South East Bosnia ( see maps ). The town lies at the foot of the eastern slope of mountain Jahorina at a height of 345m above sea level. The settlement is situated on the aluvial terrace in a broad valley, formed by the erosion of the River Drina. The valley is bordered on the South-Last by Biserna (701 m), on the South by Samari (696 m), on the South-West by Misjak (618 m), on the West by Gubavica (410 m) and on the North by Povrsnica (420 m). The River Drina flows between these and some other hills and thus with its valley gives Gorazde good communications. The valley of the Drina is the principal traffic artery in the south-eastern region of Bosnia. Since old times it has been part of the important route going from the sea inland, (Dubrovnik - Trebinje - Gacko - Foca - the Drina valley). This route was particularly significant in Roman times and in the Middle Ages when it was used by Dubrovnik people travelling to these parts of Bosnia and further on to Serbia. (The Dubrovnik Road). At Gorazde this road meets another coming from Sarajevo and central Bosnia via the Jabuka Mountain pass down to the Drina valley and preceding on to Plevlje. The surrounding region of Gorazde is composed of paleozoic slate, sandstone, carbon and perm. The hills are for the most part rounded and with gentle slopes. The higher ones are composed of limestone. Gorazde with its surroundings has mainly equable and fresh mountainous climate. The average annual temperature of the air is 10.8 C and the rainfall is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. The town is supplied with water from six springs. One part of the inhabitants gets drinking water from ordinary wells. The construction of a water supply system began in 1962. from the spring in Cajnice, 16,5 km from Gorazde.

    Extractions: Encyclopedia Bosnia and Hercegovina The area was part of the Roman province of Illyricum. Bosnia was settled by Serbs in the 7th cent.; it appeared as an independent country by the 12th cent. but later at times acknowledged the kings of Hungary as suzerains. Medieval Bosnia reached the height of its power in the second half of the 14th cent., when it controlled many surrounding territories. Bosnia also annexed the duchy of Hum, which, however, regained autonomy in 1448 and became known as Hercegovina. During this period the region was weakened by religious strife among Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and Bogomils . Thus disunited, Bosnia fell to the Turks in 1463. Hercegovina held out until 1482, when it too was occupied and joined administratively to Bosnia. The nobility and a large part of the peasantry accepted Islam.
