Lessons learned and not. From Yugoslavia to Georgia
Food served after discussion. See full program below.
The six-episode series The Death of Yugoslavia is unique in its way of capturing the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, almost day-to-day and following all the local and international leaders and envoys, from states, military, militias, EU, NATO and UN, not only how they dealt with the conflict officially, but how they were thinking at the time and sometimes commenting with a couple of months or years of afterthought. It starts in 1988 and ends with the Dayton agreement at the end of 1995. This is probably the only chance to see this highly awarded documentary in any public screening in Norway. Read more about each episode of the series here.
Are there lessons to be learned from the history of the collapse of the Yugoslavian republic when dealing with todays conflicts on the edges of Europe and Russia?
