The late 1980s saw a rise in nationalist movements across Yugoslavia, fueled by economic hardship and a power vacuum. Slovenia and Croatia, with their significant economic contributions to Yugoslavia, began to advocate for greater autonomy or outright independence. This move was met with resistance from Serbia, led by Slobodan Milošević, who sought to consolidate power and create a "Greater Serbia."
In the aftermath of the massacre, Bosnian Serb leaders, including General Mladić, were indicted for war crimes and genocide. In 2017, Mladić was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
