Milan Babic
Milan Babic (February 26, 1956 – March 5, 2006) was from 1991 to 1995 the leader of the Republic of Serbian Krajina, a largely Serb-populated region which broke away from Croatia following Croatia's declaration of independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, in 2004 he was the first ever indictee to admit guilt and bargain a plea with the prosecution, after which he was sentenced to 13 years in prison.

Around August 1991, Babic' became a party in what war crimes prosecutors would later describe as a "joint criminal enterprise" to permanently forcibly remove the non-Serb population of the territory under his control in order to make them part of a new Serb-dominated state. His co-participants included Slobodan Miloševic', other Krajina Serb figures such as Milan Martic', the Serbian militia leader Vojislav Šešelj and Yugoslav Army commanders including General Ratko Mladic', at the time the commander of JNA forces in Croatia. According to testimony given by Babic' in his war crimes trial, during the summer of 1991 the Serbian secret police - under Miloševic''s command - set up "a parallel structure of state security and the police of Krajina and units commanded by the state security of Serbia". A full-scale war was launched in which a large area of territory, amounting to a third of Croatia, was seized and the non-Serbian population was either massacred or ethnically cleansed. The bulk of the fighting occurred between August and December 1991, during which time approximately 80,000 Croats and Muslims were expelled or killed. Thousands more died and were deported in fighting in eastern Slavonia, but the JNA was the principal actor in that part of the conflict.
