Introduction porated into the NATO-organized police force, there was real and irreversible ethnic cleansing that extended beyond the Serbs to Roma and other minorities— “the largest ethnic cleansing in the Balkans [in percentage terms],” according to Jan Oberg. 46 Five years after the end of the bombing war, the remnant Serb population was isolated, holed up in protected compounds, and unable to work, go to school or travel without armed protection. Kosovo was a criminal haven and the drug and sex-trade capital of Europe. 47 The KLA, long linked to and aided by al Qaeda, had contributed to an upheaval in Macedonia and still nourished its aims of a Greater Albania. All of this has been treated in the West by eye-aversion, along with occasional vague references to a success story. The point of mentioning these historical fabrications, myths, and suppressions—and these do not exhaust the list by any means—is to show how commonplace and easy it has been to institutionalize falsehoods about the Serbian target group and demonized enemy. One would have hoped that the media and mainstream intellectuals might have learned from the repeated and sometimes embarrassing illustrations of their gullibility and treat convenient claims of target villainy with skepticism and subject the claims to careful scrutiny. This did not happen in the case of the myths, fabrications and suppressions just discussed, and, in our view, failed in the face of claims of a Srebrenica massacre. In the chapters below we review some of the evidence put forward for the claim of mass executions, but we also attempt to place the Srebrenica events in a historical and political context, which we feel to be of great importance, both in explaining what killing went on at Srebrenica, but also in explaining the political stakes that underpin both the reasons for the seemingly inexplicable 28th division abandonment of Srebrenica— while leaving their women and children to the care of the Bosnian Serb army!—and the very effective campaign to pin a mass murder and “genocide” charge on the Serbs. The Tribunal, UN, and media have had an important and not very creditable role in this campaign (see Chapters 6-9). The issues involved here are in urgent need of review and debate. We engage in such a review and initiate such a debate in this volume. 30
Notes Introduction 1 “Bosnia: 2 Officials Dismissed for Obstructing Srebrenica Inquiry,” AP, New York Times, April 17, 2004; Marlise Simons, “Bosnian Serb Leader Taken Before War Crimes Tribunal,” New York Times, April 8, 2000; The Fall of Srebrenica (A/54/549), Report of the Secretary-General pursuant to General Assembly resolution 53/35, November 15, 1999, para. 506, . 2 Between 840 and 950 Bosnian Muslims from Srebrenica and Zepa swam across the river Drina to find safety between July 11 and 13, 1995. These refugees—an entire brigade of the Bosnian Muslim Army—were apprehended, processed, and provided with accommodation and care by the Yugoslav authorities, including visits by the Red Cross, which also provided delivery of mail and cigarettes. See Milosevic Trial Transcript, IT-02-54-T, December 10, 2003, pp. 30340-30341, . 3 UN Security Council Resolution 819 (S/RES/819), April 16, 1993. On the UN- PROFOR-BMA-BSA agreement of April 18, see Marcus Tanner, “Srebrenica victims airlifted to safety,” The Independent, April 19, 1993; and John F. Burns, “U.N. Says Enclave Is ‘Saved’; Bosnians Call It ‘Surrender’,” New York Times, April 19, 1993. 4 See Milivoje Ivanisevic, “The Book of the Dead Serbs of Srebrenica and Birac Region, 1992-1995,” in Srebrenica July 1995—in search of truth, Zivka Novicic, Trans. (Belgrade: Hriš anska misao, 2nd. Ed., 2010), pp. 95-169. In this section of Ivanisevic’s book, he documents by name and by date of birth and death a total of 3,287 Serb victims in this region of eastern Bosnia through the end of the war. 5 Germinal Civikov, Srebrenica: The Star Witness, Trans.
