Sažetak
The extremely cruel sufferings ofthe civilian population in Serbia's
armed aggression against Croatia in 1991, (according to still
incomplete data the proportion of civili ian casualties in the
masacres with regard to the total number of civillians killed is 61%),
as well as the fact that the crimes were committed on Croatian
territory towards which Serbia has territorial claims - are the basis
of our argument that genocide is part of the Serbian war strategy.
The relevant sources of information used in the paper were
government institution records (the Medical Corps Headquarters
of the Croatian Army and the Commission for Dealing With
Prisoners of War), Croatian newspapers (from May 2nd 1991
through March 1993), a small number of medical publications
(Croatian Medical Journal, War Supplement 1 and 2) and Mass
Killing and Genocide in Croatia 1991/92 published by the Croatian
University Publishing House). Information presented in the text
regarding the number of casualties is not an accurate image of the
current situation, which was not our intention in the first place, but
a documented and scientifically argued illustration of the suffering
of the Croatian people in the period of the fiercest Serbian
aggression against those Croatian territories the Serbs wanted to
conquer and submit to ethnical cleansing. The arguments
presented in this paper, although incomplete due to justifiable
reasons, are deemed as sufficient evidence that an attempt has
been made at exterminating one group - nation, or, a part of it
within a certain territory, and this has been qualified by
international conventions as genocide.
