Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Serbs in Sarajevo" in English language version.
In the aftermath of Franz Ferdinand's assassination, anti-Serb sentiment ran high throughout the Habsburg empire and in Croatia and in Bosnia-Herzegovina, it boiled over into anti-Serb pogroms. Though these pogroms were clearly incited by the Habsburg authorities..
The single largest case of such displacement was the exodus of approximately 60,000-70,000 Serb civilians in February and March 1996 from the Grbavica neighbourhood and the suburbs of Vogosca, Ilijas, Hadzici and Ilidza, areas of Sarajevo held by the Serbs during the war but which under the Dayton Peace Accords were to be transferred to federation control... Many of these Serbs were resettled in areas formerly inhabited mainly by Bosniaks. The goal was to prevent Bosniaks from returning and in doing so, consolidate Bosnian Serb control over those areas acquired during the war.. Although Bosniak leaders did much to stoke the fears of local Serbs to leave the city in the days before the transfer, the exodus from Sarajevo was initiated and encouraged by the leadership in Republika Srpska. Many were forced to leave under the threat of death and some were killed for disobeying orders.
