The Eight Stages Of The Bosnian Genocide
As for classifying these people, there were 3 main groups involved in this genocide: Bosnian Serbs (Orthodox Catholic Christians), Bosniaks ( Sunni Muslims), and the Bosnian Croats (Roman Catholic Christians). Josep Tito was the man in charge who had visions for the Bosnian Orthodox Catholic Serbs to be the dominant religion in every area or country they made up. Leading up to this genocide was much descrimination of religions, such as labeling every citizen as a Serb, a Bosniak, or a Croat. The serbs believed that the Croats and Bosniaks were toxic and destructive to the Serbians religion, and lead to the result of genocide or as they called it: "ethnic cleansing".
The Serbs referred to the Bosnian Muslims as just Muslims, and for them, Muslims weren't human. The serbs also used social media to spread lies and rumors about the Bosnian Muslims, to not get any other countries in their way. The Serbs were very oragnized in this genocide, they put Croats and Bosniaks in concenrtation camps, there were 677 of these camps. With the bodies of these people, they made mass graves for their bodies.
Both sides of the genocide used propoganda in order to gain allies. The Serbs used propoganda through public media, showing video of Croats and Bosniaks killing Serbs, the vidoes did not show that these Croats and Bosniaks were rebelling against the Serbs. However, the Bosnian Mulims used propoganda through public media as well, this time Franjo Kudjima of Croatia made his point in undermining the Serbs and his ideals to secede from them. Other countries started to Seced from Yugoslavia in 1992, causing uprise for the left over Muslim civilians in that area. Rape camps were even set up to dilute the Muslim and Croat blood line.
As mentioned before, there were 677 death camps set up for Muslims, Croats, and Bosiaks. The living conditions in these camps were so bad, that 10,000 of their prisoners died of the filthiness of these camps. Overall, about 100,000 civilians died from this genocide, so that's one tenth of people in these camps died. The worst of these camps was Omarska, here thousands of men were killed 10 or 15 a day, hanging in metal cages.
Serbs denied access to all those who wanted to investigate their camps, much like the Nazis after the Holocaust. The Serbs also denied that any genocide had happened, but they did admitt to mass killings. They say that nothing happened discriminantly in what was Yugoslavia, and they feel everybody is being too nosy about this. Doesn't this sound a bit like the holocaust?

The Bosnian genocide probably could've been stopped at the stage of dehumanization. If America and other countries had gotten involved in the war when they were first targeting the Croats and Bosniaks, then not as many would've been killed. The genocide wouldn't have even happened if they got involved as soon as they heard about the targeting.
