SOmething here is not adding up. Compared these refugees.[/quote]

Sorry, what is not adding up?  Krajina refugees (Croatian Serbs) largely fled to nearby Serbian ethnic areas of Bosnia in what was later to be called Republika Srpska, or to Serbia proper (Belgarde and other areas) .  It is natural that they would flee to areas where they had relatives and spoke the language.   They could not flee to Europe because they would have physically had to flee through significant distances of Croatia, which at the time was the perpetrator of the fighting against them (Operation Flash and Storm - in which Croatia reclaimed separatist ethnic Serb areas of Croatia).

Are you implying something about how well dressed the Ukrainian refugees are?  Ukraine is a wealthier country than the Krajina area was 30 years ago. Most people who lived in Krajina were rural Serbs who farmed, so they left in their (Soviet made) cars, wagons and tractors or on foot.  There were no rail lines to speed people away from the war like there is in Ukraine.

In fact, just like w/ Krajina Serbs, many Ukrainians fled with only one suitcase or a knapsack, abandoning their cars at some poing to walk miles to reach the Polish border. [/quote]
