Thanks to the first deployment of U.S. troops in the Balkans--an infantry battalion in ~1993; sent to Macedonia and put on the Serb-Macedonian border to prevent/deter such violence--part of UNPROFOR.
And you miss the point. The goal for each of the various entities of the Former Yugoslavia, Muslim & Christian alike, was to get away from Serb-dominated rule from Belgrade. All of them wanted to do so peacefully, but unfortunately, they all had to fight except for Macedonia.
Joan, you don't need to spam me with accounts of atrocities committed against Serbs. I am fully aware and support the arrest and trial of those responsible. It's just that those guys don't have a bunch of Serb nationalists executing a propaganda campaign on this forum trying to hide the criminal culpability of Milosevic et al.
The Serb and "Yugoslav" population/s within those entities did not want to break away. The Serbs were about 34% of Bosnia, more if you count ethnic Serbs who registered as "Yugoslavs." The Croatian Serbs 12.2% were/are definitely doomed in an independent Croatia (and Kosovo) as well. Much of the war was by local Serbs defending themselves and their villages with often no or little support by the Yugoslav army, which was disintegrating as the Croats, Muslims, Slovenes and Albanians defected into the separatist armies.
