An analysis of Serbian policy responses to the 1999 bombing of the Radio Television of Serbia building

This thesis argues that Serbian public policy does not adequately acknowledge the victims of the NATO bombing of Serbia. This is despite broad agreement amongst scholars that the NATO bombing was an event of pivotal importance to Serbia and one that Serbs want to remember. While some gestures of redress were made to victims of the RTS building, these are recognised as inadequate by this research. This lack of adequate acknowledgement of victims extends beyond the bombing of the RTS building and is characteristic of the Serbian public policy response to other victims of recent wars in the Balkans.
