Radislava "Dada" Vujasinović (Serbian Cyrillic: Радислава "Дада" Вујасиновић, pronounced [rǎdislaʋa dǎːda ʋujasǐːnoʋitɕ]; 10 February 1964 – 8 April 1994) was a Serbian journalist and reporter for the news magazine Duga, published in Belgrade.[1]

Career

She covered the early stages of

Yugoslav wars and frequently visited front lines, including the city of Sarajevo while it was under siege
. In 1992 she announced that she would no longer report from battlefields because she could not bear writing about the destruction of cities and the killing of children.

She returned to Belgrade and started reporting on politics. One of her most famous pieces is a piece about Arkan, in which she describes how a criminal came to be promoted as a national prophet. The piece was written with much sarcasm and irony.

Death and aftermath

She was found dead in her apartment on 8 April 1994.

Milan Pantić.[4]
