Sažetak
Taking as sample oral records from the Croatian War for Independence, oral history is recognized as an important source for the reconstruction of historical events and processes. Oral records, using testimonies of the War participants, may supplement other existing records, helping that information on that part of Croatian history becomes more complete. Based on the subjective prospective of the speakers, oral records may suffer from the lack of objective opinions and conclusions. Comparison with other documents and relevant oral sources is thereafter necessary. Prerequisites of the objectivity of oral records to be used as historical sources, but also for their presentation in public media, are expertise and ethics of the persons involved in their creation (primarily interviewers, but also interviewed). Professionalism is obligatory, implying impartiality of the interviewers, knowledge on the issues being talked about, complemented by comparison with larger number of written sources and other oral testimonies.
