Reckoning: The 1991 Siege of Dubrovnik and the Consequences of the “War for

Dubrovnik, which lasted nine months and had devastating consequences for the
city and the entire region, at the time re-focused the world’s attention on
the war in the former Yugoslavia. The events surrounding the earlier
destruction of Vukovar by the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and various
Serbian paramilitary groups, coupled with the long-lasting and seemingly
absurd attack on Dubrovnik, helped redefine the perception of the conflict
in the former Yugoslavia. By Srdja Pavlovic, 2005
