o:4600 Media war: “artillery support” for NATO aggression on the FRY 1999 en Abstract: This paper deals with a wide range of media and communication actions performed during the 1990s, directed against the Serbian nation. It analyses media matrix which was very perfidiously designed and implemented in order to blame one (Serbian) side for the breakup of the SFRY and ultimately for the conflict in Kosovo and Metohija, while other sides would be presented as victims. Such media activity culminated at the end of the decade, just before, during and after the bombing of the FRY. The situation was presented to the world public in an untrue and extremely malicious way in order to justify universal aggression on a sovereign country and its collapse. The paper also analyses the unpreparedness of the state and the system at that time for the media war, which can greatly and sometimes decisively affect the outcome or the initiation of military actions, and provides suggestions for the prevention of similar situations. Key words: media, war, FRY, NATO, Kosovo, politics. 91552100 144890121 1552100 978-86-7067-261-1 2024-05-21T16:10:09.545Z 44 no 46 ostalo Nenad Perić Institut za srpsku kulturu Priština – Leposavić 7640423 0000-0002-8332-0805 2019 application/pdf 976712 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:4600 no yes 1 70 355.48/.49(497.1)"1999 92000001 71A06 David vs. Goliath: NATO war against Yugoslavia and its implications 350 364 2019
