Summary/Abstract: The Roma population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, often overlooked in studies of the 1990s Bosnian War, suffered significant violence and displacement, including involvement in all three main military factions but lacking recognition as war crime victims. Their vulnerability, especially among Muslim Roma, was exacerbated by systemic marginalization and targeted ethno-religious violence, exemplified by atrocities such as the 1992 Skočić massacre. These events highlight the compounded impact of ethnic and religious identity in conflict and the necessity of acknowledging all victimized communities to fully understand the war’s human toll.
