It comes from a list I belong to, ZaMir-Chat-l, an xYugo-oriented open discussion forum, including participants from the xYugo region, even Bosnia (theoretically -- they rarely participate for some reason). This is an expert from a longer piece by the host of the list, Ivo Skoric, a great writer, former Yugo journalist -- his pieces are always worth a read. If you're interested in signing up to the list write a message with only "subscribe zamir-chat-l" (no quotes) in the text body, no subject title, to the address . Rick ---------------------------- The Internet community can rejoice that this [Croatian re-capture of Krajna] was the first war in history with a dedicated Web page. The war was fully televised, as we are already used to with contemporary warfare. But since Croatian TV (which crew entered every city with Croatian Army) can't be see as extensively as for example CNN, they opted for Internet. Croatian TV created a Web page (few days before the offensive) which it updated hourly with still pictures - images of recaptured townships, Serb refugees, celebrating Croatian forces, maps tracking Croatian army advances, visits of officials (like the U.S. ambassador Peter Galbraith who visited Krajina the day after it's recaptured), damage of Serbian shelling (like a kid without a leg in Bihac), damage (of course, lesser) of Croatian shelling. The page is still there. It has tons of .jpg images. It is certainly partisan to Croats (well, it's done by Croatian state-run TV), but it is not annoyingly and overtly propagandist. To download some fresh pieces of war go to: http://www.hrt.com.hr/ (downsides: it is s-l-o-w. Croatia's pipe to Internet is 68kbps. Also, displaying of images is not done thru interlaced giffing) For impatient there is a mirror page served from a U.S. server: http://www.math.utah.edu/~milicic/hrt.html Ivo Skoric ############# # This message to Hungary-Online@hungary.yak.net # was from bruner@ind.eunet.hu # # To unsubscribe, # send "unsubscribe" to # An announcement-only subscription (less volume) is available # at # Send mail to for more information, # or to if you need human assistance. #############
