I will review this nomination. Initial comments should be post soon.

I did some minor copyediting; I hope you don't mind. Here's the review:

1. Well-written
2. Verifiable with no original research:
3. Broad in its coverage:
4. Neutral:

   • In general, I think you've done a good job of maintaining neutrality in the article, something that is often difficult to achieve with this type of subject matter. I have some concern over this phrasing: "Those who refused to leave were threatened and one person was butchered in front of his home." It is more neutral to say that the person was killed rather than butchered. If the wording comes from the source, then quotations should be put around it.

5. Stable:
6. Illustrated, if possible, by images:

The article is very well-written as it is and appears very close to meeting the GA criteria. The point above just needs to be addressed. --1ST7 (talk) 23:46, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for taking up the review. I amended the "butchered" to "killed" even though the source (Gagnon) literally says "butchered". Gagnon quoted (translated) this from Vreme - a Belgrade published magazine - and I suspect the original text said butchered as in "killed using a knife". Regardless, I now realize that "butchered" may be perceived both literally and figuratively in English and since I have no access to the original Vreme text, I changed it to "killed" to avoid ambiguity.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

You're very welcome. The article looks good to go now, so I'm passing it. Congratulations, and thanks for your work! --1ST7 (talk) 00:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
