the report of the commission of experts in bosnia v. serbia genocide case before the international court of justice states that the attack on kozarac lasted three days and caused many villagers to flee to the forest while the soldiers were shooting at ‘every moving thing’. survivors calculated that at least 2,000 villagers were killed in that period. the villagers’ defence fell on may 26. serbs then reportedly announced that the villagers had 10 minutes to reach the town’s soccer stadium. however, many people were shot in their homes before given a chance to leave. one witness reported that several thousand people tried to surrender by carrying white flags, but three serb tanks opened fire on them, killing many.
