The Death of Yugoslavia is a BBC documentary series first broadcast in 1995, and is also the name of a book written by Allan Little and Laura Silber that accompanies the series. It covers the collapse of the former Yugoslavia. It is notable in its combination of never-before-seen archive footage interspersed with interviews of most of the main players in the conflict, including Slobodan Milošević, Radovan Karadžić, Franjo Tuđman and Alija Izetbegović. This format, pioneered by the programme's production company, Brian Lapping Associates, was very influential and the company produced many others in similar style.
The six parts were entitled:
1. "Enter Nationalism"
2. "The Road to War"
3. "Wars of Independence"
4. "The Gates of Hell"
5. "A Safe Area"
6. "Pax Americana"
The series was awarded with a BAFTA award in 1996 for Best Factual Series. Because of the series large amount of interviews with prominent leaders and commanders of the conflict, it has been frequently used by ICTY in war crimes prosecutions.
All the papers relating to the documentary series, including full transcripts of the many valuable interviews conducted with participants, are lodged at the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives at King's College, University of London.

During the trial of Milošević before the ICTY, Judge Bonomy called the nature of much of the commentary "tendentious". This was because there were instances in which an interview in the Serbian language was subtitled incorrectly and often in a misleading manner (for example, the subtitling translated an interviewee saying that "Milosevic always won the elections on a nationalistic platform and nothing else", rather than "... on a national platform... ")

tito s yugoslavia was best country in the world. we had standard like in western europe but we didnt had capitalist and corruption as them. he build up country from ashes of II WW, he was great man ended. yugoslav people had best socialism in the world, therefore CAPITALIST west (america) had to crush that system to prove only capitalism in the right way to rule the country, so they install marionets in the republics to pass their interests, they used nationalism to start civil war..............

the translation of the Serbian into English is ridiculous and false, changing words such as "organizing" into "running" is so manipulative and twisting it around. Half of the stuff translated is twisted around! Especially at 44.12!!! PROPAGANDA TOWARDS SERBIA!

"The flag is being arrested" lmao. xD It sounded like they were dealing with mental patients

Some of the translation is really poor, which is quite disappointing as I'd trust the BBC to do a better job.

@MegaCARDUSAN lolol ridiculous communist is ridiculous.

This is no fault of nationalism,THIS IS THE FAULT OF INTERNATIONALISM,everytime you got different ethnic groups in same country divisionisms,ethnic problems,ethnic conflicts arrive...coincidence?NO.

Yugoslavia,Soviet union,Belgium today,Spain today,czechslovakia,european empires and all others,they have all split BECAUSE OF INTERNATIONALISM,BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE WERE DIFFERENT UNITED BY FORCE LIKE YUGOSLAVIA,not because of nationalism.
