When Slobodan Milosevic became Serbia's leader in 1987, his form of 'nationalism' spread, creating conflict in Bosnia, which had become independent in 1992; however, by 1995 the euphemism for genocide, called 'Ethnic Cleansing,' had buried deep roots there by Serbian troops in what had become the Bosnian War. Part One of this historic two-part program includes an exclusive interview with reporter Jovan Dulovic, who chronicled the activities of one of many Serbian paramilitary units operating in Bosnia, the Yellow Wasps, who took part in the Zvornik killings; also we hear from refugees who recount stories of rape, torture and massacre; plus we meet the late Warren Zimmerman, who served as the last U.S. Ambassador to the former Yugoslavia and was the author of Origins of a Catastrophe: Yugoslavia and Its Destroyers; here he offers his views on Milosevic and the intense situation in these two Baltic nations
