The first part of the study deals with the issue of public opinion shaping in Australia on the beginning of war in Croatia in April and May 1991. The second part is related to the problems of reception of the character of confrontation in Yugoslavia in Australian and world press from October 1990 to July 1991. The author emphasises the importance of international perception of circumstances of dissolution of Yugoslavia.
