Summary/Abstract: The author analyzed newspapers writting of USA, UK, France. Italy, Austria and Germany about Yugoslav crisis between 1. january of 1991. and 31. december of 1993. The aim of this undertaking was to see did the Serbian ethnic group become the enemy in public of western countries. The content analysis showed that conservative Austrian and German newspapers, for example, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Welt, Kurier, had the picture of enemy on the very beginning of Yugoslav crises. The liberal and social-democratic newspapers of Austria and Germany had more balanced attitudes about war on Yugoslav ground. The Serbs became enemy of American public as well as the British and French, especialy liberal and social-democratic, on the beginning of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most part of texts in that the Serbs played role of enemy were published in conservative newspapers of Austria, Germany and in liberal newspapers of USA.
