"Then they [the Croatian militants] issued an ultimatum: hand over the three Muslim nurses, and we will leave you alone."

Quite nauseating to think that this happened in Europe in the 90's.

Edit: even more nauseating to go on vacation there and realize that the people who did this are no different from yourself. This could happen anywhere.

Indeed. This is partly why people are so sensitive about anti-Muslim rhetoric and policy in the West today. It's an alarmingly short slippery slope from "send them back" to "send them back and burn their houses" (e.g. Rohingya) to "just hand them over so we can murder them" to "send in the genocide squads", as in Srebrenica that was mentioned at the end of the article.
