MIT O „VELIKOJ SRBIJI“ U NARATIVIMA NEMAČKE PROPAGANDE

Abstract

Considering the continuity of anti-Serbian propaganda of German politics, the authors single out the ambiguity and tendency with which ideas about the guilt and responsibility of only one party should have been implanted in the consciousness of the German people. Comparing the dominant narratives from the period that preceded the great world wars, but also the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia during the nineties of the last century, they point to the ethnic contempt and ideological labeling by which the Serbian side was stigmatized for decades, with no chance to hear its side of the truth. The framing of propaganda matrixes served the purpose of obtaining legitimacy for the political actions that followed, and under the guise of crushing “Greater Serbian hegemony” Serbia was repeatedly bombed, with open attempts to subjugate it militarily and economically. Ideas about the “solution” of the Serbian question and the “supplementary economic space” have been woven into the geopolitical program of the German elite since the Berlin Congress, but only in the current reality do they openly indicate the strategic goals of expanding the military presence and the dominance of economic interests.
