Quotation: " ...the peace negotiations between the Orthodox [Christian] Serbs, the Catholic Croats and the Muslim Bosnians had collapsed again. And there is no doubt that the religions that are so involved here had neglected in the period of more than forty years since the Second World War to engage in mourning, honestly confess the crimes which had been committed by all sides in the course of the centuries, and ask one another for mutual forgiveness....I think there can be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions!"

From north-west to south east, the political entities were Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. At various times during the past millennium, the country know known as Yugoslavia, and its surrounding countries, straddled the borders of three faith groups: Islam, Orthodox Christianity, and Roman Catholicism. Various sources give conflicting stories of the area's past. The following is our initial attempt at describing the history of Yugoslavia. Although this data came from usually reliable sources, we are uncertain about its reliability. We will attempt to improve this in the near future:

Printer Friendly Kai Erikson is William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Emeritus of Sociology and American Studies at Yale University. The Uses of History: Reflections on the Fall of Yugoslavia 10/23/03 "Beyond History and Memory" Seminar 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 WAR CHILD War Child is a network of independent organisations working across the world to help children affected by war. War Child UK was founded in February 1993 by Bill Leeson and David Wilson, two film makers, after they had returned from the former Yugoslavia having made a film for the BBC Arena programme about the role of artists in war. Shocked by the plight of children - this war like so many in the world at the end of the 20th century, is a war against civilians - they decided to use their film and entertainment background to raise money for aid agencies operating in former Yugoslavia. Without experience in aid work and perhaps lacking the caution of those with long-term knowledge of work in war zones, they decided that rather than donate money to others “in the field”, they would operate projects directly. At that time the British government were selling off surplus military stock and they discovered that field bakeries could be bought. The Overseas Development Administration (ODA) agreed to put up the capital costs for this purchase and in the early summer of 1993 the first War Child convoy, three ovens, mixers, generators and the raw food materials to run the bakery for the first month trundled off with a team of eight volunteers down to Dover docks and across Europe to former Yugoslavia.With the help from UNHCR the bakery commenced its work in Medjugorje, feeding the many Croatian refugees in that area of Western Bosnia Hercegovina. As soon as the conditions allowed, the bakery was moved into the destroyed town of East Mostar and with the ODA funding the purchase of a second unit, the new bakery had a production capability of feeding the desperate families in that town.

not a true picture art work by john kozlich BRIDGES IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA BY FERRAN ROIG Presentation by the author I was just 14 and carefree, but my interests soon changed when I saw a very interesting TV report about a war in the city of Sarajevo. The report was about the life in Sarajevo, and the program's tittle was "24 hours". The program showed the viewers what happened with the subjects of the day’s program during 24 hours. One day was a bullfighter, the other a police patrol.... Well, you can imagine what happened, during the Sarajevo’s family day, the camera would film the killing of the boy while he and his friends were trying to help an injured man hidden behind a run down car. The sniper shot and the bullet went directly through the boy’s head. Since then my opinion about wars has changed completely. I could see people like me (the same faces, clothes, cars...) being bombed daily, shot by snipers, and other atrocities. Immediately I began to collect all the information I could about Yugoslavia and the new components of Yugoslavia past and present. I discovered how a rich country Yugoslavia once was, and how the ethnic, politics, religion, and many other things were destroying such an incredible cultural heritage, and lives and families. As the years were passed I was beginning to understand the stupid reasons of the conflict and distinguishing the different kind of armies, warriors, or call them whatever you want.

Hundreds of Serbian Baptists were among 250,000 Serbian war refugees who fled in 1995 from the Krajina region along Croatia's long border with Bosnia. A year after the war in the former Yugoslavia ended, Krajina remains largely uninhabited. Last year's crops have rotted on the vine, and the fields are infested with mines.

Vujadin Rudiæ The Yugoslav idea, the former Yugoslavia and its Social and Geographical Features Source: The Serbian Questions in The Balkans , University of Belgrade, publisher - Faculty of Geography, Belgrade 1995. 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.

Roots of the Balkan troubles: a history of ethnic skirmishes More than four years of war have turned once-beautiful Yugoslavia into a living nightmare, and into one of the bloodiest battlefields in Europe's recent history. We see the images refugees bearing children and suitcases, war-wearied elderly women, crying soldiers. But many of us don't understand exactly how the turmoil began. Here's a brief look. The rivalries between Serb, Croat and Muslim communities in Yugoslavia date back centuries. Created in the aftermath of World War I, the country was first known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The name Yugoslavia was adopted in 1929. During World War II, Croats joined the Nazis in exterminating Serbs and others. The Serbs took up arms and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed on both sides. Josip Broz Tito, a partisan leader, led the resistance against the Nazis, ultimately driving them from Yugoslavia. Following the war, Tito was elected to lead the newly created Yugoslav Federation. Tito ruled with an iron fist, keeping ethnic rivalries in check. Despite such problems as astronomical inflation, the nation held together for a decade after Tito's death in 1980. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, democratic movements swept across much of Eastern Europe, including Yugoslavia. With the election of non-communist governments in four of Yugoslavia's six republics, the Federation began to crumble and ethnic divisions resurfaced.

Throughout the conflict, the achievement of these objectives, accompanied by measures to ensure their full implementation, has been regarded by the Alliance as the prerequisite for bringing to an end the violence and human suffering in Kosovo.
