Summary/Abstract: Massive scale crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1992-1995 Aggression were committed by a large number of Serbian military and police forces. These crimes were executed in compliance with political decisions and policies of Serbian top government organs: primarily the Assembly of Republic of Srpska and local “crises headquarters”. Hence, it is in this context that we shall observe the crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the aggression. Criminal proceedings of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) have successfully removed the most significant political, military and police officials, verified to have participated in war crimes, from the important decision-making positions. The aim of this article is to present the role and significance of Serbian institutions in executions of mass scale crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
