Abstract: The paper focuses on Serbian media coverage of the historic events in Romania in December 1989. It pays particular attention to Yugoslav evaluations of the Romanian upheaval and the course of events that led to the fall of the regime in Bucharest. The research included press reports and comments from the most influential Serbian daily newspapers (Politika, Ekspres politika, Večernje novosti) and magazines (Nin, Duga and Ilustrovana politika). The paper aimed at evaluating the level of impartiality and objectivity of Yugoslav press reports and comments on the revolt in Romania and overthrow of Nicolae Ceauşescu’s regime in December 1989. The research puts the analysis of Yugoslav/Serbian perceptions of the revolt in Romania in the broader context of Yugoslav views on the Perestroika and its ideological and geopolitical consequences behind the Iron Curtain in 1989.
