Slobodan Milosevic initiated a campaign of ethnic cleansing primarily to consolidate Serbian power and territory in the Balkans during the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. He aimed to create a Greater Serbia by removing non-Serb populations from contested areas, particularly in Bosnia and Kosovo. This campaign was fueled by nationalist sentiment and historical grievances, as well as a desire to suppress opposition and maintain control over diverse ethnic groups. The resulting atrocities were part of a broader strategy to achieve political and territorial goals through fear and violence.
