| Title | Rethinking Self-Determination: Serbian Views on the Bosnian Crisis in the 1990s |
| Summary | The main aim of the thesis is to fully describe and analyze political choices and the behavior of political and public actors from Serbia in the period of the Bosnian crisis. To achieve this goal, I have analyzed all the relevant interviews, articles and news clips published in the only existing independent daily newspaper in Serbia at the time, Borba in the period of 6 years, from 1990 to 1995, in order to find all relevant statements from most hitherto politically influential individuals, as well as commentaries from prominent political analysts. They should serve to illustrate and explain the position of both the ruling elite, as well as the opposition on the question of political and legal principles they advocated during the time of the Yugoslav dissolution and the war in BiH. Their own words will often be used in order to clarify and demonstrate various existing points of view in Serbia at the time on some of the key political and legal dilemmas about the future of Serbs and other South Slav nations. Based on this research, I will draw conclusions about the most important features of the Serbian political scene in the early 1990s. |
