In the context of Chetnik genocide , one of the main Chetnik commanders Milan Šantić stated in Trebinje in July 1942 : " The Serb lands must be cleansed from Catholics and Muslims . They will be inhabited only by the Serbs . Cleansing will be carried out thoroughly , and we will suppress and destroy them all without exception and without pity , which will be the starting point for our liberation . " In the " Elaborate " of the '' Chetnik 's Dinaric Battalion '' from March 1942 , it 's stated that Chetnik 's main goal was to create a " Serbian national state in the areas in which the Serbs live , and even those to which Serbs aspire ( Bosnia and Herzegovina , Lika and part of Dalmatia ) " where " only Orthodox population would live " . It is also stated that Bosniaks should be convinced that Serbs are their allies , so they would n't join the Partisans , and then kill them . " According to Bajo Stanišić , the final goal of the Chetniks was " founding of a new Serbian state , not a geographical term but a purely Serbian , with four basic attributes : the Serbian state Greater Serbia , the Serb King of the Karađorđević dynasty , Serbian nationality , and Serbian faith . The Balkan federation is also the next stage , but the main axis and leadership of this federation must be our Serbian state , that is , the Greater Serbia . " Chetnik ethnic cleansing targeted Croat civilians throughout areas of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina , in which Croats were massacred and expelled , some examples of which include : Krnjeuša massacre , Trubar massacre , Bosansko Grahovo massacre and the Gata massacre . According to the Croatian historian , Vladimir Žerjavić , Chetnik forces killed between 18,000-32,000 Croats during World War II , predominantly civilians
