The Death of Yugoslavia (Serbian, Montenegrin,Bosnian, Croatian and Slovenian: Smrt Jugoslavije, Macedonian: Смртта на Југославија, Smrtta na Jugoslavija) 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, then President of Serbia. 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 programme has been re-edited in three parts:

1. Enter Milošević
2. The Croats Strike Back
3. The Struggle for Bosnia

And was later broadcast as a feature-length single documentary.

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. The catalogue can be examined here

During the trial of Milošević before the ICTY Judge Bonomy called the nature of the 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... ").

idk if he's the capper, but thanks to 'lordgafal' on demon 4 this.

A WARNING, this was commented on the listing:
Belive me, this movie is far away from truth. It is full of false informations, half truths.
The real Serbian aggression over Croats and Bosnians was not shown as it should have been.
It was made by the second most loyal ally of Serbia: England.

Did you know that England was one of the last countries that conceded Croatian independence? Why?

This message box is too small to explain the whole truth.

If you think that after seeing this movie you know the truth, you are so wrong and manipulated.

I'm sure most ppl don't believe even half of what the bbc says, but i'm upping it cuz it is part of history. A part of history that only 'redjack' has really only been providing us info on. cheers...
