President Milosevic has pursued a different course for Serbia. and for much of the rest of the former Yugoslavia. Since the late 1980s he has acquired. retained. and sought to expand his power. by inciting religious and ethnic hatred in the cause of greater Serbia. by demonizing and dehumanizing people. especially the Bosnian and Kosovar Muslims. whose history. culture and very presence in the former republic of Yugoslavia impede that vision of a greater Serbia. He unleashed wars in Bosnia and Croatia. creating 2 million refugees and leaving a quarter of a million people dead. A decade ago. he stripped Kosovo of its constitutional selfgovernment. and began harassing and oppressing its people. He has also rejected brave calls among his own Serb people for greater liberty.
