ONE VERY IMPORTANT PERSON TO TAKE IN CREDIT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fikret_Abdi%C4%87
Fikret Abdić
This article i against him, but, here, you can see a paradox to what you've been reading all the time before.
Some quotes -
--- Quote ---Following the death of Tuđman, in 2002 he was convicted on charges of war crimes against Bosniaks loyal to the Bosnian government by a court in Croatia.
--- End quote ---
"LOYAL TO...." Can they still speak about "genocide, extermination" done by the Serbs?!
--- Quote ---Fikret Abdić established concentration camps for Bosniak population loyal to the government such as Drmeljevo and Miljkovići.
--- End quote ---
LOL, yeah right, he made "concentration camps" to "exterminate" the "poor, good" Alija-ns.
--- Quote ---The mini state existed between 1993 and 1995 and it was allied with Army of Republika Srpska.[1][2] as well as Franjo Tuđman's regime in the light of Karađorđevo agreement meant to redistribute Bosnia and Herzegovina between Croatia and Serbia.
--- End quote ---
Remember this quote!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara%C4%91or%C4%91evo_agreement#Division_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina
Karađorđevo agreement
Although also weirdly biased and full of lies, for a person with pre-knowledge, it is good to know that such an agreement could exist.
They have removed the part where it says that BiH would be divided by having Serbian-populated part joining Serbia, Croatian joining Croatia and having one Muslim buffer-state in between.
Some examples of lies there:
--- Quote ---This meeting did not include the third and the largest ethnic group in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosniaks.[2]
--- End quote ---
1. It wasn't possible for a simple reason that Bosniaks are not an ethnic group at all. It would be just like saying that Catholic Germans are a different ethnic group than Protestant Germans.
2. They were mostly referred to as "Bosnian Muslims" then and not "Bosniaks".
3. Seen this quote before
--- Quote ---The mini state existed between 1993 and 1995 and it was allied with Army of Republika Srpska.[1][2] as well as Franjo Tuđman's regime in the light of Karađorđevo agreement meant to redistribute Bosnia and Herzegovina between Croatia and Serbia.
--- End quote ---
? Referring to Abdić's (Muslim) try to make his own state.
Hmmmmm.... no comment!
--- Quote ---The Milošević-Tuđman plans for Greater Serbia and Croatia are seen to have been implemented by ethnic cleansing, with over 97,000[12] Bosnians (Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina) killed and more than 1.5 million expelled.[
--- End quote ---
They again have no better things to do but babel something about "Greater" (with capital letters, as if it was a name, LOL) this and that.
There have been about 97,000+ dead on all sides (see how now they contradict themselves again, because in the media, they love to claim that out of 97,000+ total deaths, 300,000 were Muslim?), but there couldn't have been, by any mean 1,5 million refugees.
My comment might be somewhat messed up, so, please, feel free to ask more questions if you wish.
Serbian Canadian:
To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia by Michael Parenti & Fools' Crusade: Yugoslavia, Nato, and Western Delusions by Diana Johnstone are two good books, although they focus mostly on the Western countries' involvement in the Wars. Noam Chomsky has also written extensively about the Kosovo conflict.
If you'd like to counter-balance that, check Empire Lite: Nation-Building in Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan & Virtual War: Kosovo and Beyond by Michael Ignatieff (I haven't read those, just putting them out there). Obviously he's a Liberal and anti-Milosevic but his father was the former ambassador to Yugoslavia so there might be some interesting information in there.
You'll be hard pressed to find academic articles or books detailing Croatian and Bosnian Muslim crimes commited during the wars that written by non-Serbs. I am having difficulty finding some (not sure if there are even any).

I have read Parenti's book, and I find some of the facts in it of good use, but the far-left viewpoint that dictates his writing takes away credibility from his analysis. I liked how he documented Western bias against Slobodan Milosevic, but his thesis is flat-out wrong.
This is the problem often with English language sources that may seem "Pro-Serb". They are in fact people who just go against everything the U.S. does and that is the only reason they support the Serbs, out of hate for the West. This is people such as Parenti, Buchanan, and Chomsky, Yimach Shmo Vezichro.
These people do not actually care for the Serbs, and do not even understand the fact that Serbs are genuinely a better people than their Muslim and Catholic neighbours.
I would guess that there is a host of sources, even academic ones, but I am sure they are in Serbian.

Speaking of Catholics, maybe this one you could find interesting:
http://www.reformation.org/holocaus.html
The book was written by a Jew, by the way.
I haven't read the whole thing, just got through it, but I'm adding it as one more thing.

Some sites that often cover Yugoslav/Serb issues and may also include relevant historical content:
http://4international.wordpress.com/
Multi-topical, good when it covers the Balkans.
http://www.balkanalysis.com/
Not right wing, and a bit out of date at the moment, but extremely informative. Its archives are indexed in several academic databases.
http://calebposner.com/
Pro-Israel, pro-Serb blogger. Use the search to find relevant material.
http://de-construct.net/
Formerly Byzantine Sacred Arts blog.Tons of useful info.
http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/
Highest profile pro-Serb American blog
http://serbianna.com/
Balkans news site. Lots of analytical articles about relevant history.
www.slobodan-milosevic.org
Pro-Slobo (obviously), but still good. I treat that as a negative because history informs us he betrayed his own people (the Serbs) repeatedly.
http://www.srpska-mreza.com/
Digital archive of articles and quotes that, considered together, provide lots of insight on the conflict and regional history.
