CRIMES IN VIŠEGRAD. THE CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY OF MILAN LUKIĆ BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the phenomenon of ethnic cleansing in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, using the case of Višegrad as an example. A key role in the extermination of Bosnian Muslims was played by members of Serbian paramilitary organizations and police forces. Their effectiveness in these actions was largely due to their familiarity with the region and the local community. The individual responsible for organizing the ethnic cleansing in the Višegrad area was Milan Lukić, the leader of the White Eagles paramilitary group. He was accountable for crimes against humanity targeting Bosnian Muslims, which ultimately led to a complete change in the ethnic structure of the region. This study outlines the entire process of bringing Milan Lukić to justice before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. The article employs a case study method and content analysis.
