Extradition/Deportation
Bosnia-Herzegovina, formally known as Yugoslavia, has been addressing many pressing issues; however, extradition and deportation has been gaining large amounts of attention from Bosnia-Herzegovina’s government. Bosnia-Herzegovina’s government consists of a tripartite presidency which is divided mainly between Croatian, Serb, and Bosnian political parties. During World War II, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia resisted the Axis powers and were overrun. The attacking axis forces: Germany, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, and related regimes, Croatia and Serbia partitioned off the land. Soon after the partitioning, a civil war sprang up between the Yugoslav Partisans and the royalist Chetnik Movement. Not only did this war take place, but there was also genocide committed against the local Serbs, Jews and Roma while Chetniks began to chase the Bosniak and Croat population to perform an ethnic cleansing. With much support given by the U.S.S.R and the United States of America, the Yugoslav Partisans gained more and more power over the opposing forces. Italy and all of the other commanding countries gave up their hold on the partioned land to Germany. After the city of Berlin was captured by allied forces, Germany surrendered and the once axis controlled countries were released to the allied forces. The Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia assumed control after World War II. "This, what you are doing, is not good. This is the path that you want to take Bosnia and Herzegovina on, the same highway of hell and death that Slovenia and Croatia went on. Don 't think that you won 't take Bosnia and Herzegovina into hell, and the Muslim people maybe into extinction. Because the Muslim people cannot defend themselves if there is war here."
Radovan Karadžić, leader of the Serb Democratic Party, said this after hearing talks of Bosnia-Herzegovina separating and gaining its’ independence
