In this book, the author has tried bridge the gap between the common perception of the Yugoslav conflict as portrayed in the media and the actual grim reality with which he was dealing as an EU monitor on the ground. Drawing on original material from both UN and ECMM sources, he has identified the true origin of Former Yugoslavia's wars of dissolution, and critically examines the programme of violence which erupted in 1991 and eventually culminated in 1995 in the vicious dismemberment of a sovereign federal republic with seat at the United Nations. In doing so, he highlights the duplicitous behaviour of all parties to the conflict; the double standards employed throughout by the United States in its foreign policy; the lengths to which the Sarajevo government manipulated the international media to promote a 'victim' status; the contempt in which UN peace-keepers were ultimately held by all sides; and the manner in which Radovan Karadzic was sacrificed at the altar of political expediency, when the real culprits were Slobodan Milosevic and his acolyte, General Ratko Mladic. This book, the first by an EU Monitor with actual experience of the conflict, tells the real story of the modern Yugoslav conflict, 1991-1995.

In September 1994 I was selected by my superiors in the Irish Defence Forces to join the European Community Monitor Mission in Former Yugoslavia (ECMM) and after a time as a Monitor and Team Leader in Eastern Slavonia, and then as a Monitor in the Krajina near Bihac, I was appointed to the Headquarters' Staff in Zagreb as the officer responsible for evaluating and reporting on the war in Bosnia together with the general situation in Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Kosovo. In that capacity I was one of very few afforded the opportunity to work with the 'big picture', where my core function was to make some sense of the conflict in order to better inform the policy makers of the European Union. My reports found their way to EU HQ in Brussels, the Foreign Ministries of all EU governments, and to the United Nations in New York. However it also became apparent at an early stage that irrespective of what my colleagues and I actually wrote, in the world of real-politik individual agendas were still pursued relentlessly with the best and worst example unquestionably being Germany's single-minded determination to recognise Croatia when the Badinter Commission, Lord Carrington, and EC Monitors on the ground all advised against it. Equally, I experienced this frustration myself when during the Spring of 1995 I continually advised my superiors that Radovan Karadzic simply had to be included in all negotiations on the future of Bosnia if any meaningful and comprehensive resolution was to be achieved. Together with former US President Jimmy Carter, Karadzic had managed to secure the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA) in December 1994 and I believed that this success could and should have been built upon in a serious and meaningful way. Unfortunately the leaders of the International Community thought otherwise and followed their own agendas determining that there would be no place for an indicted war criminal at the peace-conference-table - and a unique possibility for progress was squandered. I firmly believed that a distinct opportunity existed at that time to bring the war to an end, albeit that it would have left the Bosnian Serbs in a position of strength. Deplorably, influential people, particularly President Bill Clinton, were not prepared to tolerate that scenario, so the war went - needlessly. Nevertheless ECMM continued to gather information and make evaluations. With teams spread right throughout the region, daily, weekly, monthly, and special reports on the military, political, economic, and humanitarian situation came flooding into the Headquarters in Zegrab and were processed through a complex evaluation system. Thereafter assessments and predictions were distributed internationally and either accepted or rejected. ECMM's mission statement was simple. We were in theatre to observe and report at first hand on Former Yugoslavia's wars of dissolution, the activities of the numerous parties involved, and the shifting alliances into which they entered - and for the most part I am satisfied that we did it well. However, it was also during this time that I first became aware of the chasm which existed between the common perception of the conflict as portrayed in most of the popular media and the actual grim reality which I was dealing with on the ground. There was a difference, and in many instances it was huge. In order therefore to address these issues, and drawing on all resources available, including original material from both UN and ECMM sources, this thesis seeks to identify the true origin of Former Yugoslavia's war's of dissolution and thereafter critically examine the programme of violence which erupted between 1991-1995 culminating eventually in the vicious dismemberment of a sovereign federal republic with seat at the United Nations.

With Muslim, Croatian, and Serbian journalists and historians as contributors, Burn This House portrays the chain of events that led to the recent wars in the heart of Europe. Comprised of critical, nonnationalist voices from the former Yugoslavia, this volume elucidates the Balkan tragedy while directing attention toward the antiwar movement and the work of the independent media that have largely been ignored by the U.S. press. Updated since its first publication in 1997, this expanded edition, more relevant than ever, includes material on new developments in Kosovo. The contributors show that, contrary to descriptions by the Western media, the roots of the warring lie not in ancient Balkan hatreds but rather in a specific set of sociopolitical circumstances that occurred after the death of Tito and culminated at the end of the Cold War. In bringing together these essays, Serbian-born sociologist Jasminka Udovicki and Village Voice Washington correspondent James Ridgeway provide essential historical background for understanding the turmoil in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo and expose the catalytic role played by the propaganda of a powerful few on all sides of what eventually became labeled an ethnic dispute. Burn This House offers a poignant, informative, and fully up-to-date explication of the continuing Balkan tragedy. Contributors.

In Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia former U.S. foreign service officer Louis Sell fills a gap in the literature on the Yugoslav conflicts by covering both the domestic Yugoslav side of the collapse and the history and consequences of international interventions in the wars in Slovenia and Croatia in 1991, Bosnia in 1992–1995, and Kosovo from 1998–1999. Sell focuses on the life and career of Milosevic, from the perspective of both a diplomatic insider intimately familiar with the region and a scholar who has researched all the available English and Serbo-Croatian sources. Sell spent much of his diplomatic career in Eastern Europe and Russia, including eight years in Yugoslavia between 1974 and 2000, and witnessed the events that contributed to the dissolution and ultimate destruction of Yugoslavia. In Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia he provides first-hand observations of Milosevic from the heady days of his rise to power and, later, in the endgame of the Bosnian war, including the Dayton Peace Conference. Drawing on a wide range of published material as well as interviews with Yugoslav and foreign participants, Sell covers such areas as Milosevic’s relationship to the military, his responsibility for war crimes, his methods of persuasion and negotiation, and his notoriously explosive personality.
