The series contains press clippings, news agency releases and printed materials (articles, papers) on the recent history of Bosnia and Herzegovina till the mid-1990's. It covers important political events from the moment of gaining international recognition in 1992, throughout the 4-year bloody war, (the siege of Sarajevo, defense of Muslim enclaves of Bihać, Žepa, Goražde, and the genocide in Srebrenica), the end of the war (Dayton Peace Agreement of 1995) and the post-war reconstruction and democratization. The political information illustrates the strong links with the US, EU and NATO. Of particular interest are files on Bosnian military and paramilitary units, but also international forces such as UNPROFOR (United Nation Protection Forces) that was sent to secure peace and stability. Other files cover developments in economy, including problems of privatization and production, unemployment and other related topics. Files on social issues contain information regarding the three main religions in Bosnia and on the great number of refugees and displaced persons, war crimes and mass graves. Files on culture and media are also of interest although of secondary importance.
