Reception of NATO intervention in Yugoslavia in 1999. through the eyes of Croatian newspapers

Tema ovog rada je NATO intervencija u Saveznoj Republici Jugoslaviji 1999. god. gledana kroz izvještaje u hrvatskim novinama. Nakon dugotrajnih sukoba između jugoslavenske vojske i Oslobodilačke vojske Kosova međunarodna zajednica je pokušala prekinuti sukobe i uvesti mir na Kosovu. No svi diplomatski pokušaji za uvođenjem mira propadaju te NATO pokreće intervenciju. Ona je trajala dva i pol mjeseca, a brojni dijelovi Jugoslavije su pri tome bili bombardirani. Naposljetku Srbija pristaje na mirovni sporazum i povlačenje vojske s Kosova. Prateći izvještaje dvaju visokonakladnih dnevnih i jednih tjednih novina u radu će se istražiti koje su teme i pitanja hrvatske novine smatrale najvažnijima prije, tijekom i netom poslije intervencije NATO-a u SRJ 1999. god.The topic of this paper is NATO intervention in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999. as seen through the reports in the Croatian newspapers. After prolonged conflicts between the Yugoslav army and the Kosovo Liberation Army, the international community tried to stop the conflicts and install peace in Kosovo. As all diplomatic efforts failed, NATO started its intervention. It lasted for two and a half months during which many parts of Yugoslavia were bombarded. Ultimately Serbia agreed to the peace treaty and to withdraw its troops from Kosovo. Following reports from two widely read daily and one weekly newspaper, this paper will explore what topics and questions did the Croatian newspapers consider to be the most important prior, during and shortly after the NATO intervention in Yugoslavia in 1999
