Description

History of the recent wars of the 1990s in the area of former Yugoslavia is a rather sensitive and controversial issue in all the countries of the West Balkans. In some countries these topics were introduced into the teaching, in some only partially or not at all. This period is remembered in different ways, often confronting and mutually exclusive. While some believe this is why this period of history still isn't past that should be studied. The European association of history educators EUROCLIO, in cooperation with the partners, initiated a project focusing on the question how to teach the themes of the 1990s wars in the area of former Yugoslavia.
