Vukovar children massacre or Vukovar baby massacre was well known case of Serbian propaganda in the Yugoslav Wars.[1]
Day before the execution of 264 Croatian prisoners of war's and civilians in the Ovčara massacre, Serbian media released the news of 40 Serb babies being slaughterd in Vukovar. Radio Television of Serbia gave a report by a local photographer who said Croatian soldiers slaughtered 41 children between the ages of 5 and 7 in a school in Borovo Naselje.[2]
Dr. Vesna Bosanac, the head of Vukovar hospital from which the Croatian POW's and civilians were taken, said she believed the story of slaughtered babies was released intentionally to make Serb nationalists more angry thus inciting them execute Croats.[3]
