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.
Ea a declarat ca pe parcursul timpului a ajuns la concluzia ca "multe mii de oameni nevinovati au devenit victime ale eforturilor organizate, sistematice, de indepartare a musulmanilor bosniaci si a croatilor bosniaci de pe teritoriul revendicat de sarbi. Din cauza ca s-au temut sa nu devina victimele vecinilor lor, asa cum s-a intamplat in cel de-al doilea Razboi Mondial, sarbii bosniaci au devenit ei insisi opresori, a spus Plavsic.
