Look at the caption in the lower right corner, it says Muslims in a Serb detention camp. Turns out the people were outside the barbed wire and the camera crew was inside a storage area (barbed wire to deter theft) filming out into a refugee camp. The people were free to come and go. The skinny guy was sick as a kid and had deformed ribs. There was even a medical facility set up even if supplies were in short supply. The Serbs were trying to keep the whole country from being ripped apart, not very much differrent from our own civil war where the south was trying to break away too. Our civil war cost 620,000 soldier deaths and an undetermined number of civilian casualties.

You try to justify the unjustifiable. Bosnia, just like Slovenia, Kosova and Croatia wanted to break away from the Yugoslav Federation. Which they had every right to do. But Serbia denied the right of self-determination to anyone but it's own people, the Serbs.
Serbia chose to go to war, not once, not twice, but 4 times. This had nothing to do with " trying to keep the country from being ripped apart", this goes way back >>> To create a Greater Serbia, A Homogeneous Serbia.
There are few Serbs out there who acknowledge what happened in the Balkans in the 90's. Sanja Blagojevic is one of them;
"
Serbs have conducted ethnic cleansings in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo during the 1990s. They did so, because they wanted
a Greater Serbia and not because they wanted to protect innocent Serbs living in these places. This has to have consequences. The past has to be examined. War criminals have to be extradicted. "
