DUBROVNIK: BESIEGED, ATTACKED AND REBUILT BY UNESCO-HISTORY ON THE WALL

The city of Dubrovnik is visited by a lot of foreign tourists every year. The city is nice. Not all of the tourists do know that the city was attacked in year 1991. Shopping is more important than historical facts. For seven months the city was besieged by the The Yugoslavia's Yugoslav People's Army(JNA). The fight was a result of the disagreement about to whom the city belonged: Croatia or Serbia? The reports of the fight are to be found on the walls of the city. The history on the wall is interesting to study. The year was 1991. About 114 civilians were killed. In year 1992 the Croatian Army lifted the siege of the city. The damage of the buildings caused by the shelling of the Old Town
was repaired  with support from UNESCO. General Pavle Stugar who coordinated the attack on the city, was sentenced to an eight-year prison term by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for his role in the attack.
