A campaign of ethnic cleansing then began in the RSK, and most non-Serbs were expelled by early 1993.[1][2]
Ethnic cleansing in the Bosnian War occurred on a considerably larger scale than in the RSK, as all major ethnic groups became victims of ethnically-motivated violence committed by Bosniaks, Croats or Serbs.[3] The ethnic conflict produced a large number of displaced persons. It is estimated that the number of refugees in areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina not controlled by the VRS at the end of 1994 exceeded one million (out of a total population of approximately 2.2 million).[4] In addition, 720,000 Bosniaks, 460,000 Serbs and 150,000 Croats fled the country as refugees.[5] Many Bosniak and Croat refugees were hosted by Croatia and, by November 1992, there were 333,000 registered (and an estimated 100,000 unregistered) refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina in Croatia.[6] The circumstances under which refugees left their homes varied considerably.[7] The Bosnian-Serb ethnic violence against the civilian population resulted in the largest number of civilian victims of the Bosnian war, culminating in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.[8]
