"Serb forces" typically refer to military units associated with the Serbian Armed Forces or paramilitary groups that have operated in various conflicts, particularly during the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s. These forces were involved in complex regional conflicts, often linked to ethnic tensions and nationalistic movements within the former Yugoslavia. The term can also encompass various factions, including regular army units and irregular militias, which played significant roles in battles and territorial disputes. The actions of these forces have been the subject of international scrutiny and legal proceedings, particularly concerning allegations of war crimes during the conflicts.
