Плавшич каза, че с времето е осъзнала, че "хиляди невинни хора са станали жертва на организирани, системни усилия да се премахнат босненските мюсюлмани и босненските хървати от територията, за която сърбите са имали претенции".
She said that over time she had come to realise that "many thousands of innocent people were the victims of organised, systematic efforts to remove Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats from territory claimed by Serbs." Because of a "blinding fear" that Serbs might become victims of their neighbours, as in World War II, the Bosnian Serb leadership became victimisers themselves, Plavsic said.
