Sažetak
With the escalation of war destruction in the area of Osijek, foreign journalists showed interest in the events in eastern Croatia. Due to the growing need to share information in foreign languages, Glas Slavonije hired several employees and announced competitions for associates at the International Press Centre. At first, it was called the Press Club and was located in the Hotel Osijek. After the shelling, the team moved to Osijek's Pothodnik with the task of holding and recording all daily press conferences and giving statements used to inform the domestic and foreign public. The specificity of the Underpass itself is that it is an atomic shelter that housed civilians who remained in Osijek but also refugees who did not have adequate accommodation. They witnessed the events in the Underpass and were the first with the information at the field. The historical method will be used to show the context in which the city of Osijek operated at that time. Equally, an analysis of the content from available sources will be used. Also, six key actors who participated in the work of the International Press Centre in Osijek will be interviewed using the indepth interview method.
