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. <a href="http://www.dokumentarkino.no/andre/2008/DeathofYugoslavia.htm">Read more about each episode of the series here.</a><br><br>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?<br><br>In the evening we show&nbsp;episode 3: Wars of Independence followed by a panel discussion with the title: <br><br></small></small><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><small style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">Lessons learned and not; from Yugoslavia to Georgia</small><br><small><small></small></small></div><small style="font-weight: bold;"><small><font size="-1"><small><br>Panel Participants: <br>Scott Gates </small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small>(</small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small>Director at the Centre for the Study of Civil War, </small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small>CSCW-PRIO), </small></font></small></small><small style="font-weight: bold;"><small><font size="-1"><small><br>Cecilie Endresen </small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small>(Doctoral research fellow&nbsp;(ILOS), University of Oslo, with many years&nbsp; experience as a political analyst in the Western Balkans)</small></font></small></small><small style="font-weight: bold;"><small><font size="-1"><small><br>Jon Kværne </small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small>(Political analyst with many</small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small> years working experience with Balkan societies and politics, as well as political observer for the EU in Albania and Kosovo)</small></font></small></small><small><small><font size="-1"><small><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <br>Mikkel Berg </span>(MA with Abkhasia as research area).</small></font></small></small><br><small><small><font size="-1"><small><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">The BBC-series The Death of Yugoslavia is in six episodes, each 50 minutes.</span> It will be shown from 11:00 am till 18:00 pm.
