Raskovic, as well as student and fellow psychiatrist Radovan Karadzic (second from left), attended exclusive functions in Belgrade Novi Sad — including dinners at Slobodan Milosevic’s and other political leaders’ villas — in which an ethnically pure “Greater Serbia” was planned. Raskovic empowered Karadzic to lead the Serbian Democratic Party in Bosnia- Herzegovina in 1991. Jovan Raskovic ignited Serbian nationalist fervor, publishing tracts and SERBIA appearing before crowds and in the media.

While Karadzic was rising through ranks in Bosnia, Slobodan Milosevic (left) came to power in Serbia. As the self- proclaimed “liberator” of the Serbs, he stripped Kosovo of its autonomy in 1989. By 1992, with both Karadzic and Milosevic Belgrade in power, sporadic conflicts in Yugoslavic republics had escalated to full scale violence. Through the work of Karadzic and Milosevic — the latter whom Raskovic proclaimed to be “the result of the work of those who have brought the Serbian people back to consciousness” — the ethnic cleansing agenda has resulted in massive loss of life. Both men have been indicted for crimes against humanity by the International War Crimes Tribunal. Neither has been brought to justice.
