Another connection

Was there a connection between the Serbian government and the self-declared military forces and paramilitary formations that operated in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina? The Supreme Court of Serbia says yes. It has confirmed an earlier decision ordering the state to pay damages to seven (out of an estimated 10.000) refugees who were arrested by the military in 1995, then delivered under military security for "training" at a camp of the "Serbian Volunteer Guard" (Srpska dobrovoljačka garda) in Erdut, after which they were forcibly mobilised into units of the "VRSK" in Croatia and the "VRS" in Bosnia-Hercegovina.

The refugees would be natives of Bosnia and Croatia and they should have fought for them homes, land, and people still there rather than desert them.

By the way, the Bosnian Muslims sent several thousands of men to train in Croatia, and some of them participated in Croatia's war against the Serb population.

In addition Croatia had entire brigades stationed in Bosnia throughout the war. It was an open secret.

Adnan didn’t so much fight for his country, as much as he fought against another country – Yugoslavia. This stocky traffic cop from Srebrenica first fought against the Serbs in Croatia. It would only be a matter of time before he would have to return to the frontlines to defend his homeland of Bosnia. Little did Adnan know then that he and his Serbian counterparts would soon be picking up arms again, but in far different circumstances.

Hey Anonymous, is there some relevant point you wanted to make?

this could be important for the verdict of the case where Bosnia is suing Serbia for genocide!
