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.
