What is ethnic cleasing and which country in southeastern Europe practice it?

Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic or religious groups from a given territory by a more powerful ethnic or religious group. This can be done through violence, intimidation, or other means.

The country in southeastern Europe that has been accused of practicing ethnic cleansing is Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the Bosnian War in the 1990s, Bosnian Serbs carried out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Bosnian Muslims and Croats. This included the forced expulsion of people from their homes, the destruction of property, and the killing of civilians. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has convicted several Bosnian Serbs of war crimes and crimes against humanity for their role in the ethnic cleansing campaign.
