BOSNIA DEATH TOLL: 104,732 (MINIMUM)
In January 2010, the number of 104,732 persons became the final estimate of the minimum death toll in Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to Ewa Tabeau, the Demographic Unit of the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
Numbers don't tell the full story: When it comes to civilian Serb casualties in Bosnia-Herzegovina, majority of Serbs were killed by Serb army who shelled multi-ethnic Bosnian cities like Sarajevo and Tuzla.

Note: Ethnic make-up of victims as in the minimum number of war deaths and missing persons |
Serb military casualties died in the pursuit of a criminal enterprise (campaign of ethnic cleansing directed against the Bosnian Muslim population) and they cannot be regarded as innocent victims, but rather as war criminals. Approximately, 10,419 people are still missing as a result of the war - and almost all of them are Bosniaks. Ewa Tabeau's categorization of "Others" is also suspicious, as most victims in this category have Muslim names, but are categorized simply as "Others" instead of "Bosniaks."
