Radovan Karadzic was the head of the Bosnian Serbs, which operated under his local leadership. Karadzic was the president of the illegitamate Bosnian Serb Republic. Karadzic was known as the "founder" of the genocide. Karadzic once told a group of journalists that "Serbs and Muslims are like cats and dogs. They cannot live together in peache. It is impossible." (Bosnia-Herzegovina). The Bosnia/Kosovo Genocide goal was to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims, where in which the Bosnian Serbs had the idea of. This quote demonstrates that Karadzic first said this quote and it shows that Karadzic wanted the Bosnian Muslims to be gone. If two groups cannot live together,  in Karadzic's mind, one must go therefore resulting in the genocide.
Also, Ratko Mladic was a chief of staff of the Bosnian Serb Army was captured in May 2011 and was charged with 11 counts, including genocide and crimes against humanity.

This stage occurs when people are classified into "us and them" because of ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality.

In the Bosnia/Kosovo Genocide, the "us and them" was between the Bosnian Serbs and Croatian civilians, who were the perpetrators, and the Bosnian Muslims, who were the victims.

# data[].attributes.body
During this stage, people are given names or symbols to their classifications.

In this genocide, the Bosnian Muslims were the ones being targeted, so they were given the name "Bosniaks".

# data[].attributes.body
During this stage, the group with power uses law, custom, and political power to deny the rights of the victimized group.

The Muslims couldn't register on a census as an ethnic group, unlike the Serbs (Orthodox) and Croats (Catholics).

# data[].attributes.body
The Bosnian/Kosovo genocide was a brutal genocide with an estimated 100,000 killed, and 80% were Bosniaks or a native or inhabitant of Bosnia especially one who is Muslim. The genocide lasted approximately 3 years. This Genocide was mostly between the Bosnian Serbs and the Bosnian Muslims where a lot of the Bosnian Muslims were killed. In July of 1995, as many as 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed from the town Srerenica by Bosnian Serbs. It was the largest massacre in Europe since the Holocaust.

The group with the power denies the humanity of the other group. The victimized group is regarded as insects, vermin, animals, or diseases, among other things. This stage is when hate propaganda starts to spread in paper and on radios.

The Serbs used hate speech and lies against the Muslims to spread propaganda. Biljana Plašić, one of the first acting presidents of the country, stated in 1994: “It was genetically deformed material that embraced Islam. And now of course with each successive generation it simply becomes concentrated. It gets worse and worse. It simply expresses itself and dictates their style of thinking, which is rooted in their genes. And through the centuries the genes degraded further.”

The Bosnian/Kosovo genocide happened for 3 years. It started in April of 1992 when Serbia set out to "ethnically cleanse" Bosnian territory by removing all Bosnian Muslims. It came to an end in December 1995, when an U.S led negotiations in Dayton, Ohio ended the conflict.

The Serbs were trying to ethnically cleanse the Bosnian Territory, which is in the middle of Croatia and Serbia along the Adriatic Sea

# data[].attributes.body
The Serbs wanted to ethnically cleanse the Bosnian Territory by systematically removing all the Bosniaks also known as the Bosnian Muslims. Many of the Bosnian Muslims were transported to a concentration camp while women and girls were systematically gangraped. Other civilians were tortured, starved and murdered.

Genocide is always organized, formally or informally. In the Bosnian Genocide, Serbian semi-militarized forces, including the Scorpians and "Arkan's Tigers" played key roles in this stage of the genocide. The Scorpians once filmed themselves killing six Bosnian Muslim men.

# data[].attributes.body
During this stage, the two groups of people are driven apart by extremists. Propaganda is broadcasted, and there may be laws that forbid interactions between the groups. People who want to fight back are killed or are intimidated by fear.

In Bosnia, the Serbs were convinced that they had to protect themselves from the Muslims because the Muslims would slaughter and rape them otherwise.  Journalists who published articles with different opinions were fired or killed.

# data[].attributes.body
The perpetrator starts to plan the elimination of the victimized group. Often, euphemisms are used to soften the meaning of what's actually going on.

The treatment many Bosnian Muslims received was called "ethnic cleansing", and people were told that this was only because they were provoked by crimes committed by the Muslims towards the Serbs. The Serbs gathered many trucks and buses to deport Muslims.

# data[].attributes.body

The victims are separated from the perpetrator group because of religion or ethnicity. Death lists are drawn up. Sometimes, the victims are forced to live in separate areas from the rest of society, are deported, or are starved. Genocidal massacres begin because part of a group is intentionally destroyed. During this stage, a Genocide Emergency must be declared.

The Muslims were sent to concentration camps, in which they were starved, beat, interrogated, murdered, and raped. Images from the camps shocked people internationally.

# data[].attributes.body
This stage is when the mass murder is legally called genocide. Leaders do not consider is murder because they think of the victims as less than human. At this stage, only rapid and overwhelming armed intervention can stop the genocide.

In Bosnia, men were separated form the women and children and killed. More than half the captured men died.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the final stage of genocide and always follows extermination. This can include many things, such as destroying the evidence and intimidation of witnesses. The fact that crimes were even committed in the first place is denied, and the victims are often blamed. Investigations are blocked and leaders continue to rule until they are forcefully driven out of power and flee.

Denial still exists in Bosnia, over twenty years after the genocide occurred. Bodies were hidden and there were claims made that the Muslims killed each other. Even now, the younger Bosnian generation is not taught the internationally accepted version of the genocide.

# data[].attributes.body
Before the genocide, the majority of Bosnia were Muslim with about 44%.
