How were humanitarian crises in ex Yugoslavia treated by NATO member countries?
According to UNHCR during the dissolution of ex Yugoslavia there were 650.000 mostly Serb refugees who have fled from Croatia and Bosnia. In August of 1995 300.000 Serbs were “ethnically cleansed” from Krajina (Croatia). This large refugee crisis went largely unnoticed by NATO member countries as well as their humanitarian workers. The question of Serb refugees returning to their homes was never put into serious consideration. Presently, when the local Kosovo conflict became a crisis, innocent people are again suffering throughout Yugoslavia. Western humanitarian agencies greet the Albanian refugees as they make their way out of Kosovo. Those refugees need humanitarian aid and they are getting all attention NATO countries can offer. But the question of discrepancy in NATO countries humanitarian treatment towards different ethnic groups stays open.
