Abstract
This case study focuses on the after-effects of the last phase of the forced ethnic homogenization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was unintentionally caused by the Dayton Agreement of 1995. Bor-der agreements forced competing parties to hand over land that had been under their control to the enemy.
These territorial changes sparked another wave of involuntary mass migration. The most controversial transfer of territory was the handing over of five Sarajevan municipalities with mostly Serbian inhabitants to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the first three months of 1996.
The circumstances under which the Serb majority left their homes has so far not been fully clarified. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate all different factors that influenced the final decision of the Serbs from Sarajevo to leave en masse from their home town.
