The striking wave of aggressor's attacks was moving from the north to the south. The Serbia obstruction of federal functions within Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was disclosed at the federal level, and Yugoslav military corps under the command of carefully chosen Serbian personnel at the top, had shown its true colors during the fifteen-day armed conflicts in Slovenia in 1991. It can be said that Slovenians expelled the Yugoslav armed forces from their country with media reports thus revealing its use in purpose of achieving the aims for creation of the Great Serbia. In continuation of media and carefully directed armed conflicts in Croatia, the Yugoslav army had always kept the side of Serb people, were previously armed, by it and with whom it jointly defined the fight against the National Guard and other units, in order to withdraw and evacuate the same to Bosnia and Serbia. Along with the media banagure of the Great Serbia, the Yugoslav Army armed the Bosnian Serbs and brought its potential and effective to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. When it finished, the media aggression continued with all available units of joint forces: the Yugoslav army, plus armed Serbs that were organized against Bosnia and Herzegovina and other non-Serb population by the Serb Democratic Party. Resistance to armed aggression considered also opposing the media program and coverage of its own space. Magazines such as BILTEN and BILJEG appeared as incarnation of printed media i.e. press in a small Bosnia town of Gracanica, which are subject to this story.
