In this gory century, the Serbs have fought 5 wars for survival, in which they experienced and lived through 2 genocide, 2 civil wars, 2 foreign occupations, won two liberation wars, lost their state twice and created a new state three times. In the last decade of the century, with the help of the USA and a united Europe, the Serbs have experienced a large-scale Exodus and lost their ethnic territories.
Since 24 March 1999, the Serbs have been waging their sixth war in the 20th century with the sole aims of surviving, saving their lives, their state, and preserving their tradition and identity which cannot exist without Kosovo and Metohija .
In the first Balkan war ... the Serbian casualties amounted to 30,000 wounded or killed ... second Balkan war in 1913 ... materially exhausted and with casualties amounting to 41,000 soldiers.
Two world wars almost reduced the Serbian people to a demographic minimum. “The demographic collapse” of Serbia in the First World War expressed numerically amounts to around
1,250,000 killed (402,435 soldiers and 845,000 civilians), and around 500,000 invalids with permanently reduced working ability, the demographic loss (killed, unborn and unable to work) being
35% of the entire Serbian population. The
greatest loss was suffered by male working population (18-55)—62% of the entire population (53% killed and 9% invalids). Such losses amounted to the eradication of the entire nation and caused permanent, unresolved consequences in the patriarchal society of the Serbian villages (22% more women than men) ... loss of entire generations.
The
death toll in the Second World War was at least 1,000,000 Serbian lives (the exact data have never been established because in 1946 the Communist authorities in Yugoslavia impeded the work of the Committee for establishing the crimes of occupiers, for political reasons). ... Settled on the territory of the entire Yugoslavia,
the Serbian people was fractioned and exposed to the danger of biological, national and cultural destruction.
In the period 1941-1944 under the German occupation, more than
80,000 Serbs were killed ...100 Serbs were murdered for 1 wounded German soldier ... 150 for a killed soldier. More than 350,000 Serbs were forcefully taken to German camps. x On the territory of the Italian protectorate of
Great Albania (Metohija), more than 10,000 Serbs were executed; 80,000 Albanians at a minimum were settled there ... The outcome of the Bulgarian occupation was 20,000 murdered and 50,000 displaced Serbs ... The crime committed on the territory of the Independent State of Croatia assumed the largest proportions. 1,900,000 were exposed to terror.
According to German sources, 700,000 Serbs were murdered in Croatia, 250,000 of them converted and more than 400,000 evicted to Serbia
In those [civil] wars the
Serbs suffered greater losses than other peoples of Yugoslavia did. In 1990's, about 500,000 Serbs permanently left Croatia (emigrated or evicted). According to some sources, in 1991 723,665 Serbs lived in Croatia; today, there are 130,000—150,000 of them ...
8,000—10,000. Out of total losses of life in Bosnia-Herzegovina (estimated at 80,000), more than 30,000 are Serbs.
In the first decades of this century, the Serbs were in the majority in Macedonia, Kosovo, Metohija and Sandzak (50.4%). In Bosnia-Herzegovina, they constituted a majority of the total population (43%) and were in the majority in 28 districts, out of 53. The Serbs lived in compact groups in Croatia and Slavonia (21%) and Dalmatia (17%). They constituted a numerical majority in 20 districts. Hundreds of thousands of Serbs were forced to leave Kosovo and Metohija. In the period 1971-1981, the number of Serbs who immigrated from Kosovo and Metohija was 13 times higher than the number of those who settled there; as regards Montenegrins, 9 times as many of them immigrated from Kosovo and Metohija than settled there. At the end of the century, it is evident that the territories on which the Serbs lived have been ethnically emptied. By a policy of repression, their presence in Croatia has been reduced to the percentage that is not statistically significant. They constitute 30% of the population in Bosnia-Herzegovina today.
