The Spin

Narrative A

The evidence dutifully collected by Gavazzeni reveals the depth of human depravity. Wealthy elites allegedly used their status to systematically murder defenseless civilians, including women and children, with perhaps at least 100 individuals involved. If the claims are proven true, it will be one of the worst scandals of modern times.

Narrative B

The explosive claims about sniper tourism during the siege of Sarajevo are nothing more than heinous lies designed to insult the Republic of Serbia, its armed forces and its people. Organizations representing Serbian war victims have rightfully condemned these fabricated accusations for the falsehoods that they are.
