Serbia Through a Longer Lens Part 1- Independant documentary

The Republic of Serbia, a part of the Former Yugoslavian Territory is trying to drag itself from the remnants of over a decade of conflict. External bridges are proving difficult to mend and there is a lack of trust in politicians and their ability to help the country escape its troubled past.

But there are those whom think the international media must bear some responsibility for Serbia's problems -- particularly in the way it is perceived by the outside world.

From Vietnam onwards the reporting of conflict has always been complex and controversial.

Paul Byrne's been examining what lessons can be learned from the reporting of the Balkan conflicts that can shed light on the media's role during times of national upheaval.

@byrnepaulj The song is from Zeljko Joksimovic. Hari Mata Hari only sang it for Eurovision but Zeljko wrote the song.

@CroMarduk - JNA bombed your house and you survived , very interesting.

[CroMarduk]

Serbs pretty much started all wars on Balkans in the last 100 years.

[CroMarduk]

@aviomaster No, that's not true, Serbs bombed my house in July of 1991, so the war must have started some time earlier in 1991.

This war was started by seperatist stooges who where promised and supported by Germany to have there old chum the Ustashi in Croatia back on board. The Bosnian muslems hired public relations firms in the US

@TheLoyalOfficer - YOU have report on CNN 21 years later how war in Yugoslavia started December 23 1991 Germany recognized independence of Slovenia and Croatia it has nothing to do with Serbia, same scenario they are using in LIBYA , This was start of YUGOSLAVIAN civil war. IF you do not understand do not comment on something you have no clue about. IF SERBS are only PURE EVIL than WHY Mostar is the most divided city in EUROPE Croats and Muslims live there ???????

[TheLoyalOfficer]

@aviomaster A) I don't care. B) I never did. C) If you think that these wars were caused by the West, you are out of your mind. D) If you guys want to start killing yourselves again, go ahead. Let the euros (lazy cowards) take care of it this time.
