Summary/Abstract: Classical armed aggression on the internationally recognized, independent and sovereign Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was carried out by Serbia and Montenegro (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), or by the direct participation of their armed and military forces. The main organizers were Serbia and Montenegro (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), “Serb Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina“/“Republic of Srpska“, JNA/VJ and other Serbian armed forces. Aggression is persuasive by the commission of numerous mass and individual forms of crimes against humanity and international law, including the crime of genocide against Bosniaks. This can especially be identified and investigated on the example of the Višegrad municipality. The extent and scope of crimes committed in the territory of the municipality of Višegrad, in the period of 1992-1995, that the active Serbia and Montenegro (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) also had active participation in. The general hypothesis is that in Višegrad between the years of 1992-1995. crimes committed in agrression and genocide, armed and military formations of Serbia and Montenegro (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) were also involved, and that the crimes committed were characterized by their planning and preparation, organized conduct and systemacitity, thus proving both elements of the genocide: intent (mens rea) and act of genocide (actus reus). Through the scientific methodological allegiance, the relevant documents were drawn up, conclusions were drawn up of the participation of Serbia and Montenegro (the Federal republic of Yugoslavia) in the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the genocide against Bosniaks in Višegrad in the period of 1992-1995.
