Sažetak
In the fall of 1991 when Dubrovnik region and the city of Dubrovnik suffered a war of aggression and destruction fought with the aim of building Greater Serbia, the defence efforts included, besides the engagement of military troops enlisting, among others, volunteers from all parts of Croatia, various humanitarian activities and contributions by individuals, which together formed a unique front aimed at helping the citizens of Dubrovnik and the Dubrovnik region endure a life under siege more easily by collecting humanitarian aid and ensuring that it reached the city. Among such humanitarian initiatives, the Libertas convoy organised at the end of 1991 was the most famous one. The media also played a significant role in sensitising the public and encouraging the Croatian citizens to help and show solidarity to the citizens of Dubrovnik. The purpose of this paper is to present how the media, the print media in particular, reported on the difficult situation in Dubrovnik and their coverage of the related humanitarian initiatives and efforts.
