Summary/Abstract: The collection "Reflections on the Wars of the 1990s: Proceedings of Young Researchers" emerged from a seminar supported by UNDP, focusing on transitional justice, war crimes, and post-conflict reconciliation, involving students from history, sociology, and art history. Participants studied primary sources such as court verdicts, media, and documentation from the 1990s wars and explored the cultural impact of the conflicts. The volume represents the independent research of young scholars, mentored by Professors Dubravka Stojanović and Radina Vučetić, and highlights the vital role of youth in fostering dialogue, uncovering facts, and contributing to reconciliation in the region.

- Keywords:Politics of Memory; Second World War in Yugoslavia; Breakup of Yugoslavia; Serbian Press; War and Media
- Summary/Abstract:The aim of this article is the analysis of the interpretations of WWII in 1991 in Serbia. The violent breakup of Yugoslavia and the upcoming fiftieth anniversaries of events that marked the beginning of WWII in Yugoslavia were the most important factors that contributed to the rise of memories about the global conflict from the 1940s. The main topics of this research are the narrative frameworks in the Serbian press about WWII, especially in the context of the interpretation of the Yugoslav crisis and the dissolution of the country. The images of the past promoted by the leading political figures of that time and the spread of such visions through the press present an important framework for the understanding of the cultural memory of the wars in Serbia.

- Summary/Abstract:Olivera Milosavljević (1951–2015) was a Yugoslav and Serbian historian and a professor at the University of Belgrade. She tackled the question of the Yugoslav breakup while the war was still raging. The Yugoslav breakup switched her focus to nationalism, which she studied for the rest of her life. This paper aims to analyze: 1) Olivera Milosavljević’s depiction of nationalism that was performed by her contemporaries since the late eighties; 2) her view on the continuity of the Serbian nationalist narrative since the beginning of the XX century up until its end.

- Keywords:Kosovo Issue; Branko Horvat; Media; Readers; Academic Discussions; Journalists; Socialist Yugoslavia
- Summary/Abstract:This paper explores Branko Horvat’s perspectives on the Kosovo issue as discussed in the Serbian press during the late 1980s. In 1987, Branko Horvat, a prominent Yugoslav economist and political activist, advocated for a dialogue within the Yugoslav public to address the Kosovo crisis. Horvat’s views on the Kosovo issue were at odds with the revived nationalism and proposed strategies for resolving the crisis advanced by the Serbian political elite led by Slosbodan Milošević. Through an analysis of pertinent Serbian dailies and serial publications, this study aims to elucidate the reception of Horvat’s views within both the Serbian and broader Yugoslav communities. By examining key themes and identifying predominant social factions that responded to Branko Horvat’s ideas, this paper seeks to provide insights into the societal dynamics surrounding the Kosovo issue during this pivotal period.

- Keywords:Serbian Radical Party; Seselj; 1990s; wars in Croatia and BiH; war crimes.
- Summary/Abstract:The paper examines the war activities of the Serbian Radical Party between 1991 and 1993. The hypothesis is considered that the Radicals were used twice by the regime of Slobodan Milosevic - as a filling of vacated army units and as contractors of dirty works from which it was easy to distance themselves later. The Radicals were allowed to have their own formations, although they operated formally under the leadership of the official armies, which allowed Seselj political promotion and Milosevic an alibi for the crimes committed. The paper mainly relies on facts established in court proceedings before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague (ICTY) and courts in Serbia, as well as on official materials from security sources published in previous years either at ICTY trials or in in connection with those trials.

- Keywords:War Reporters; Vreme; Media; The Nineties Wars; Yugoslavia
- Summary/Abstract:The role of a war reporter is often associated with action and heroism, a stereotype imposed by movies and popular culture. However, the reality of this profession is somewhat different. In this paper I explore the realities hidden behind this imagined picture of a war reporter by looking into the memories and experiences of a journalist and correspondent from the Belgrade weekly Vreme, during the wars in Croatia and Bosnia (1991–1995). The stories and impressions Filip Švarm shared with me are presented in this paper, not just with the purpose of defying the stereotypical image of a war reporter, but also as a display of a different perspective on Serbian media during the nineties, which are often analyzed based on the writings and broadcasting of the pro-regime media. Additionally, the analysis of Vreme offers a more comprehensive view of the news magazine’s place in the Serbian political context during the first half of the nineties. This is quite important for understanding the place and role of Filip Švarm as an individual and a war reporter of Vreme in the two Yugoslav wars.

- Keywords:Cultural heritage; International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY); Yugoslavian Wars; Dubrovnik; City Hall in Sarajevo; Old Bridge in Mostar
- Summary/Abstract:The Yugoslavian Wars resulted in the death of thousands of people and the vast destruction of cultural heritage. Among the most prominent pertaining cases are the burning of the City Hall in Sarajevo, the destruction of the Old Bridge in Mostar, and the shelling of the Old Town in Dubrovnik. In order to prosecute and punish crimes listed above, but not limited to, the UN established the ICTY in 1993. In the case of the burning of the City Hall in Sarajevo, there was no judgment, partly due to the death of Slobodan Milošević prior to sentencing. Those responsible for the destruction of the Old Bridge were found guilty of this crime after the trial, but the Appeal Chamber acquitted them on the grounds of military necessity. Last but not least, Pavle Strugar and Miodrag Jokić were both sentenced for the shelling of the Old Town in Dubrovnik. Besides the results, cases also differentiated in the categorization since all three of them were classified as war crimes but the first one was also prosecuted as a crime against humanity. The destruction of cultural heritage during an armed conflict has long been neglected in terms of prosecution and punishment at the international tribunals for which reason the jurisprudence of the ICTY represents a valuable contribution to international humanitarian law. Additionally, the archive of the ICTY provides researchers with extensive material for the analysis of the Yugoslavian Wars.

- Summary/Abstract:During the war in Kosovo (1998–1999), armed forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Army of Yugoslavia and Ministry of internal affairs), together with paramilitary forces under the command of the State Security Agency have committed many atrocities against Kosovo Albanians. These atrocities have included killings, sexual violence, forced disappearances and ethnic cleansing. This article shall focus on the crimes committed in Kosovo, operation of concealment of bodies of Albanian victims from Kosovo and their transport into the mass graves in Serbia under the name “Depth 2”, as well as ignoring and lack of remembrance of these crimes in Serbian public. The article shall present the facts and accountability of the highest military and security forces of the FRY established in the judicial proceedings before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. It will also present how these forces were aware of the atrocities committed in Kosovo 1998-1999. Finally, the article shall focus on the lack of memorialization of mass graves where the victims were exhumed in Serbia.

- Keywords:Humanitarian Aid; The Siege of Sarajevo; Anti-War Organizations; ADRA; “Dobrotvor”
- Summary/Abstract:During the wars in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (1991–1996), the importance of Belgrade’s anti-war organizations was manifold. Organizations, such as The Belgrade Circle, The Center for Anti-War Action, and Women in Black, have constantly organized demonstrations, public debates, and protests against the war. In this paper, I wanted to present another role that they had, and that is the organization of humanitarian aid, through “ADRA” and “Dobrotvor”, which was very important for the citizens of Sarajevo under siege. I presented the picture of the atmosphere in Belgrade based on the interviews I conducted with Ljubinka Trgovčević Mitrović and Mensura Lula Mikijelj. I also used letters and texts published in the publication Bosna i Hercegovina – jezgro velikosrpskog projekta (Engl. Bosnia and Herzegovina – the core of the Project of Greater Serbia), edited by Sonja Biserko, which points to the importance of the humanitarian aid that arrived. In addition to the role played by Belgrade’s anti-war movements in the process of agitation against the war, and their role in collecting humanitarian aid, I also presented the personal role of Ljubinka Trgovčević Mitrović and Mensura Lula Mikijelj in all these actions.

Special attention is paid to Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo as cities with numerous anti-war associations and NGOs that marked the anti-war movements as well as music centers where a large number of rock musicians stayed during the war. The paper also deals with the anti-war engagement of Yugoslav musicians abroad.

- Summary/Abstract:Slovenia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have had a different development path since the break-up of Yugoslavia. While Slovenia avoided significant participation in the wars that followed the disappearance of the old state, Serbia was directly or indirectly involved in all these wars, and Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered enormous material destruction on its territory in the period 1991-1995. Data on population, Gross Domestic Product and Gross Domestic Product per capita clearly show the devastating impact of the wars on the economies of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. While between 1989. and 1995, Serbia’s economy shrank about twice from 47.6 billion in 1989 to 21.2 billion in 1995, Bosnia’s economy shrank from 17 billion to just 2.9 billion - or almost six times. The Serbian economy did not reach the level of 1989 in 2020, while the Bosnian economy barely reached that level. In terms of demographic losses, Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered the greatest losses in the period up to 1995, when it lost about 20% of its population compared to 1991. Serbia suffered the greatest losses after the Kosovo war in 1999 - in the period 1995-2001, the country’s population decreased by about 400,000 people. Most of the direct demographic losses occurred on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija. The consequences of the war can be traced to the negative population trends of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia until 2020, given that the population decline was greater than the pessimistic model based on data from 1991. In addition to economic and demographic collapse, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have had also an increase in population inequality, which has led to an even greater decline in living standards compared to the period of Yugoslavia. Avoiding the devastation of war during the 1990s, Slovenia managed to more than double its GDP from 1989. to 2020, maintain a relatively stable population level, and make the gradual transition from socialism to capitalism, while maintaining low levels of inequality, welfare institutions and living standards of the average residents. This country largely followed the trends predicted by models based on 1991 data, which may to some extent provide a picture of the hypothetical development of other Yugoslav republics if there weren’t the effects of the wars that broke in 1991.

- Summary/Abstract:This article begins with the overview of the significance of peace activism done by the veterans of the Yugoslav Wars in respect to the international reconciliation in the region after those wars. Next, a short survey of the peace activities of war veterans during the public discussions “From the past, how I ended up in the war, to the future, how to reach lasting peace, four views” which were held between the years 2002 and 2004 is given Finally, a report on three interviews conducted for the purpose of this article with war veterans, current peace activists, from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia, Army of the Republika Srpska and the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is presented. The responses from these interviews were then analyzed through several topics which are crucial to understanding the role of war veterans in peacebuilding activities and their interaction with the wider community during the quarter-century since the end of the Yugoslav Wars. This analysis makes up the bulk of the article, whose focus is on the veterans’ own views on the social climate and the attitude of their states towards reconciliation activities. I have concluded that international reconciliation has been well recieved in local communities, but that it is far from implementation on state and regional levels. The peace activist veterans have a large impact on reconciliation in most communities and put special emphasis on helping people overcome stereotypes about the “other side” and recognize all veterans as humans, first and foremost. The activists dedicate great attention to assisting young people in developing their understanding and respect of those who are different. According to all three interviewed veterans, assistance from official state authorities is minimal and it varies depending on the ruling party and current political affairs. All veterans have noticed surges in nationalist rhetoric around elections, while this rhetoric dies down in the short periods between elections. Still, the existing interconnection of the ex-Yugoslavian region, through economic and other relations, the veterans find reassuring. However, for that interconnection to blossom into true reconciliation, it is vital for all nations to accept their share of responsibility for the hardships of the Yugoslav Wars, without any attempts at avoidance or blaming the “other side”. It is possible that the only hope of that happening is a near-universal acceptance of the verdicts reached by the International Court of Justice. Unfortunately, this turn of events does not appear likely in the near future.

The paper will also focus on analyzing the use of smell in art as a way of communication between this ephemeral monument and its audience.
