Through 1999: Increasing violence sweeps the region


While Karadzic was rising through ranks in Bosnia, Slobodan Milosevic came to power in Serbia. As the self-proclaimed “liberator” of the Serbs, he stripped Kosovo of its autonomy in 1989. By 1992, with both Karadzic and Milosevic in power, sporadic conflicts in Yugoslavic republics had escalated to full scale violence.

Lighting the Fuse

As the campaign of terror was being prepared against non-Serb populations in Bosnia and Croatia, Raskovic spent more and more time in Belgrade, gaining support for his theories and the creation of “Greater Serbia.” He co-authored the “Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Science” of 1986 advocating the racially superior nation; the unpublished tract circulated among political leaders and intellectuals.

And in 1990, he ultimately “lit the fuse” across the nation with publication of A Mad Country, little more than a manifesto containing his psychiatric theories of ethnic differences in Yugoslavia.

According to Raskovic, the Croats possess a “fear of castration” and are afraid of everything and, therefore, cannot assert themselves or exercise authority or leadership.
