Croat forces destroyed Orthodox churches but not systematically like Serbs
Evidence
An HVO team destroyed the sixteenth-century Orthodox monastery of Litomislici, south of Mostar, for example, and blew up the Orthodox Cathedral in Mostar, as well as destroying scores of smaller, village Orthodox churches. It should be emphasized immediately that such actions do not mean that all sides are equally to blame: the Bosnian government never engaged in systematic cultural annihilation. — Michael A. Sells, The Bridge Betrayed, 598
