FALL OF MILOSEVIC: television documentary archive

  • FALL OF MILOSEVIC
  • Collection
  • 1994-2002

The Fall of Milosevic archive, 1994-2002, consists of interview transcripts, videotapes, research files, press cuttings and published material concerning Slobodan Milosevic, former president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and his fall from the height of his power in 1995 to his trial in the Hague for war crimes and genocide. It includes VHS videos of interviews as well as transcripts of the interviews with, in most cases, detailed listings of the questions asked. The interviews incorporate eye-witness accounts: from government officials in Europe, America and Russia who describe their conflict over the NATO bombing campaign against Milosevic; from Milosevic’s wife, deputy and Army Chief of Staff who detail how he refused to take threats to his position seriously; from his successors who tell how they plotted to replace him; and from Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) commanders leading the guerrilla campaign against Serbia, as well as from ordinary people caught up in the ethnic cleansing.
