ICTY prosecutor, Dermot Groome at Mladic trial opening:

“Two decades ago this past month, Bosnian leaders commenced an attack on their fellow citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Civilians who were targeted for no other reason than they were an ethnicity other than Serb. Their land, their lives, their dignity attacked in a coordinated and carefully planned manner. In some locations, this attack arose to the level of genocide.”
