According to a report, the mass media in Serbia, were used to convince their audience that the Serbs of Croatia and Bosnia were, above all, dispersed members of a Serbian "national entity." In the case of Serbia, whose abuses have been so widely publicized internationally that they are impossible to ignore, the official media routinely accuse the victims of perpetrating the abuses against themselves so as to elicit international sympathy. To varying degrees, the media have served as propaganda instruments for all three combatants in the wars in Croatia and Bosnia. Even the most ardent defenders of freedom of expression may advocate jamming radio broadcasts in various circumstances.
