Archival history

The common denominator among the videos was transcript numbers. The IHRLI sent many of the videos to a center that created transcripts, several of which include still images from the videos. Primarily only English language productions were transcribed. The videos are arranged by transcript numbers (the transcripts themselves can be found in Series 15).

OSA staff assigned transcript numbers to those videos that were not transcribed.

Easter Greetings from Pakrac / Ostergrüsse aus Pakrac
This report outlines the efforts to rebuild the town of Pakrac after the end of the war in Croatia. Pakrac's ethnic composition of Serbs and Croats is outlined, citing how UN officials managed to establish a dialogue between both sides, allowing for some 4,000 refugees to return to their homes. UN Project leader Dr. Michael Platzer is interviewed about the project, emphasizing that mutual distrust must be done away with. He also states the UN's readiness in assisting local people to rebuild their homes and that all that is needed is a firm political agreement allowing refugees to return. The report explains that during the war, Croat forces managed to ethnically cleanse 170 Serb villages in Western Slavonija. In his interview, Veljko Dzakula of the Serbian Regional Counsel, explains that the primary goal is for all people to be able to return to their homes. He further states that war criminals need to be removed out of Pakrac and West Slavonija in general. Finally, a political dialogue needs to be established between all the people living in Pakrac. However, he states, this dialogue must happen outside of the state because there have been no guarantees that Serbs could live safely in Croatia. The report then shows a wedding of Serbs guest workers in Pakrac. Next interviewed is Franjo Sirac, Croat vice-mayor of Pakrac, who explains that Pakrac was a cultural center before the war, and that during the war 90% of the infrastructure was destroyed. He states that it was destroyed by the Serb army who wanted Pakrac to be the capital of the Western Krajina.
The report gives a detailed analysis of all the reconstruction going on. Few civilians have the finances necessary to rebuild their homes. The reconstruction of public buildings, such as the local fire station, high school, and train station is financially backed by the UN. Other footage included: destroyed houses and public buildings in Pakrac, pictures of the residents, destroyed hospital rooms, people stacking building blocks, and a destroyed apartment building

Muslims Pictured as the Enemy / Feindbild moslem
This broadcast focuses on the position of Muslims in Croatia, particularly the 200.000 Bosnian refugees. Croatia propaganda has portrayed Muslim fundamentalism a danger to the Christian world. This report includes numerous interviews with Croats and Muslims giving their opinions on the status of Muslim refugees. The first unidentified Muslim man states that Muslim men are commonly arrested and taken to camps. Many Muslims have also lost their homes and their jobs, he points out. The second unidentified Muslim man talks about being fired without an explanation from a Croat firm he worked for. An unidentified Muslim woman states that Muslims are constantly being kicked around and that Croats want them out of their country. A young Croat man states that it is not fair for Croatia to be spending millions of dollars on taking care of the Bosnian Muslim refugees when Croats themselves are experiencing economic hardship. An older Croat man explains that Muslims are taking away Croat territory in Bosnia; hence, they should not be helped. A Muslim refugee talks about the open repression where Muslim civilian men are being used for exchange for Croat war prisoners. Aziz Mikic, leader of the Croat Muslim Party talks about the mistake made by Izetbegovic in trying to make an Islamic republic in Europe. Dr. Sefko Omerbasic explains that the Bosnian army does include some fundamentalists and that they have committed crimes as well, but that they are not religiously inspired, but only a reaction to the turmoil of the Bosnian war. Zagreb University Professor Zarko Puhovski explains that the general sentiment of Croats is that of being victimized. He states that Croatia feels like the West has forgot about it. An unidentified Croat woman talks about the morality of refusing help to a people. Other footage available in this report: Bosnian Muslims waiting in front of their consulate, a camp housing Muslim refugees, a mosque in Zagreb and men praying, a street salesman selling Croat nationalist paraphernalia, and general pictures of people in the streets of Zagreb.

The report details how the Serbian Orthodox Church aids in the oppression of the Albanian majority, featuring interviews with Fathers Atanasije Rakita and George Trajkovic, Serbian Orthodox priests in the Prizren diocese, who state that Serbs have deeper roots in Kosovo and that it has always been Serbian territory. According to the priests, Muslims have been continuously endangering Serbian churches and its priesthood with little tolerance towards Christianity, especially, as they claim, since the 300,000 Albanian Muslims settled after WWII, offsetting the Serbs' historical ethnic majority.

Other footage available includes: monasteries in the Prizren area (Decani); the ruins in Kosovo Polje; street life and markets in Kosovo; Albanian writers and intellectuals meeting at the Literary Society of Kosovo; impoverished living conditions among Albanian families in their homes; and Albanian children being taught in private homes.

Muslims Pictured as the Enemy / Feindbild moslem
This broadcast focuses on the position of Muslims in Croatia, particularly the 200.000 Bosnian refugees. Croatia propaganda has portrayed Muslim fundamentalism a danger to the Christian world. This report includes numerous interviews with Croats and Muslims giving their opinions on the status of Muslim refugees.

The second unidentified Muslim man talks about being fired without an explanation from a Croat firm he worked for. An unidentified Muslim woman states that Muslims are constantly being kicked around and that Croats want them out of their country. A young Croat man states that it is not fair for Croatia to be spending millions of dollars on taking care of the Bosnian Muslim refugees when Croats themselves are experiencing economic hardship. An older Croat man explains that Muslims are taking away Croat territory in Bosnia; hence, they should not be helped. A Muslim refugee talks about the open repression where Muslim civilian men are being used for exchange for Croat war prisoners. Aziz Mikic, leader of the Croat Muslim Party talks about the mistake made by Izetbegovic in trying to make a Islamic republic in Europe. Dr. Sefko Omerbasic explains that the Bosnian army does include some fundamentalists and that they have committed crimes as well, but that they are not religiously inspired, but only a reaction to the turmoil of the Bosnian war. Zagreb University Professor Zarko Puhovski explains that the general sentiment of Croats is that of being victimized. He states that Croatia feels like the West has forgot about it. An unidentified Croat woman talks about the morality of refusing help to a people. Other footage available in this report: Bosnian Muslims waiting in front of their consulate, a camp housing Muslim refugees, a mosque in Zagreb and men praying, a street salesman selling Croat nationalist paraphernalia, and general pictures of people in the streets of Zagreb.

Croatia's Silence / Kroatisches schweign
This program focuses on Croatia as a new state, examining its direction under Franjo Tudjman two years after gaining international recognition. At the time of this broadcast Croatia has begun to lose sympathy as a victim of Serbian aggression and is increasingly seen as an aggressor, reluctant to come to terms with its own fascist past. Tudjman's policy in Bosnia, the historical revisionism of his HDZ party, and the reintroduction of the fascist monetary unit of the Ustasa state all contribute to the scrutiny of the new Croatia. The silence of prominent Croatian politicians is criticized and contrasted by dissidents interviewed such as Slavko Goldstein, publisher, Ivan-Zvonimir Cicak, and Mira Ljubic-Lorger, Dalmatian Action.
