Affected places on the map of Serbia
During the Yugoslav Wars, members of the Serbian Radical Party conducted a campaign of intimidation and persecution against the Croats of Serbia through hate speech.[1][2][3][4] These acts forced a part of the local Croat population to leave the area in 1992. Most of them were resettled in Croatia.[1][2][5][6] The affected locations included Hrtkovci, Nikinci, Novi Slankamen, Ruma, Šid, and other places bordering Croatia.[1] According to some estimates, around 10,000 Croats left Vojvodina under political pressure in three months of 1992,[7] and a total of 20,000 fled by the end of the year.[8] Between 20,000[7][8] and 25,000[9] to 30,000 according to Human Rights NGOs [10] to 50,000 [11][12] Croats fled Vojvodina in the 1990s in total. Another 6,000 left Kosovo and 5,000 Serbia Proper, including Belgrade.[13]
The U.N.-backed International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) later indicted Vojislav Šešelj for the specific case of the departure of Croats from Hrtkovci. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for persecution on political, racial or religious grounds, deportation and forced transfer as a crime against humanity, making it the only conviction of the Tribunal in relation to Yugoslav Wars on the territory of Vojvodina.
