Contents Summary
The story of the "Yellow Wasps," the Serbian paramilitary unit which operated in eastern Bosnia from 1992 onwards. Shots from the trial of its commander, Dušan Vučković, and his brother, Vojin, accused of war crimes in the Zvornik area. The main storyteller is journalist Jovan Dulović. Testimonies from several individuals, both survivors and perpetrators. Vojin Vučković in the interview denies any killing of civilians. Vojislav Šešelj confirms that 30,000 volunteers were sent to Bosnia and they were supplied with arms and ammunition by the Serbian authorities. Roy Gutman, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter of genocide in Bosnia, describes the deportation of Muslim civilians he witnessed. Former secretary of State, Lawrence Eagleburger, interviewed about what the U.S. Government knew about mass deportations in Bosnia, and what its response was.
