No, that's wrong. 200,000 is the usual estimate of the total numbers killed
in the 1992-95 Bosnian war--Serb, Croat and Muslim combined. No one knows
for sure how this figure is divided among the ethnic groups. At the end of
the war the Bosnian public health institute published figures saying that
each of the three ethnic groups lost about the same proportion of their
respective populations - about 7% each.
A good, sober, dispassionate survey of the war and intervention is The War In Bosnia-Hercegovina, by two academic Yugoslavia specialists, Steven Berg and Paul Shoup.
