"Your second map is not a demographic map, but rather a map outlining front lines." If you look at the title of the New York Times article you can read "DEMOGRAPHICS" and further reading shows "The South Slavs, and Others: Where They Live"

You're also excluding Serbian Chetnik collaboration, particularly in Bosnia and Croatia.
Mihajlovic (is that the correct spelling?) was the least tainted by collaboration, as he actually fought the Germans.

Do you know how many Chetnicks had been liquidated by the Tito communists?
Can you tell me why the Tito Communists hated Chetnicks?

Many Chetniks were liquidated by the Partisans, as exemplified by the Battle of the Neretva when the Hercegovina Chetniks in alliance with the Ustasha, the Germans, and Italians attempted to smash the Partisans.
Instead, the Chetniks were demolished.
Many Chetniks then began to cross over to the Partisan side.
The Partisans, Chetniks, and Ustasha were all ferocious fighters and spared no one.
As for your second map, it shows the frontlines circa 1993-1994.
be seeing you,
