Full list of project interviewees

When the former Yugoslavia separated in 1992, ethnic and religious friction sparked a series of interrelated wars: the Ten-Day War, the Croatian War of Independence, the Bosnian War, and the Kosovo War later in the decade. Marked by ethnic cleansing and genocide, these wars were among the bloodiest in the history of post-WWII Europe, and displaced over 2 million refugees.
