As an outcome of fear, the Serbs began to form miliscions, while the Croats and Sloenias got arms from other countries. Serbian and Croatian armies attacked each other, this resulted severe tragedies including execution of military, massacres, bombing of civilian areas, mass rape and concentration camps.
