[edit] Croatian War
During the Croatian war of independence, from October 1991 to May 1992, the Yugoslav People's Army assisted by Serb & Montenegrin paramilitaries[citation needed] put the city of Dubrovnik under siege and bombarded it with the objective of including it in a Serbian state. The first victim of the Serb bombing of Dubrovnik was a local Serb, poet Milan Milišić.[citation needed] ICTY indictments have been issued for generals and officers of the Yugoslav People's Army who were involved in the bombing [4]
