Yes, let’s talk about history. It does not matter what time-period, or occupying force you want to choose. For most of its written history Bosnia was defined as a Serb land. From Roman Servitium (Serbinon, Serbinum, Seruitio, Servitii, Serbitium), present-day city of Gradiska in north of Republic of Srpska to censuses done by Ottoman Turks, Austria or Kingdom of Yugoslavia Serbs were only or majority of Bosnian population. First time ever muslim became majority in former Bosnia is after WWII. Care to venture a guess as to why and how that happened?
Bosnia as Serb land and Serb as majority of Bosnian population is point on which number of different and reliable sources agrees.
Frankish historian, Byzantium Imperator, Roman pope, neighboring states, foreign powers ... - you name it - they all describe Bosnia as a Serbian state, populated by Serbs. Moreover, this is how Bosnians and their kings view themselves. Only ethnic or national name in the title of Stefan Tvrtko I is Serbs. He was crowned in Milesevo monastery were earthy remains of principal Serb saint - St. Sava - were buried. One of Tvrtko's predecessors, King Ostoja writes to Dubrovnik and promise to uphold and reaffirmed to their merchants "privileges given to you by my grandfathers - Serb kings". Herzegovina is Dukedom of St. Sava,
and so on, and so forth.
As you can see, all this “aggression” nonsense or how Serbs invaded Bosnia is garbage talk designed to promote jihad, fulfill war aims of
Bin Laden and his good pal Alija Izetbegovic and artificially create excuses for stealing what is in essence Serb private property.
Second point: CIA numbers you quoted are not reliable at all, these are just estimates. Nobody can tell you with certainty ethnic composition of Bosnia. Ten years after war stopped Bosniak muslim still refuse to organize census. Reason - census will bury all those fantasies and lies about hundreds of thousands dead muslim.
Third point: muslim-Croat referendum was illegal according to Bosnian constitution that was valid at that time. Serbs recognized muslim-Croat plan to finish what they tried to do 1941 and objected to becoming national minority in their own land - so secession was illegal.
Next time do your research – do not blindly cut and paste. That way maybe you will start understanding why Serbs refuse to live with those who slaughtered them.
Before WWII Kosovo was majority Serb--care to guess how Serbs became a minority there? (Croats and Muslims ran concentration camps in Yugoslavia (under German auspices) where more than 1 million Serbs, Gypsies, and Jews died.)
Since Tito was a Croat, he cared nothing about restoring ancestral lands to Serbia. So the several hundred thousand Albanians who moved into Kosovo during the war were allowed to stay.
