Documentary investigation ‘Returning to the City (of Dubrovnik)’ deals with one of the most traumatical and highly senisitive Croatian political problems: the return of the Serbian refugees to the City Of Dubrovnik. In autumn 1991, when Dubrovnik was put under siege, around 3000 Serbian refugees fled Dubrovnik and moved to nearby cities of Trebinje (Republic of Serpska) and Herceg Novi (Republic of Montenegro). Today, 15 years after the Serbs had left Dubrovnik, people in Dubrovnik are still sensitive because of the Serb - Yugoslav siege. Dislocaed people now live an improvised lifestyle, often in poor social circumstances, or even in refugee camps in Trebinje and Herceg Novi, and they are fighting for the right to buy their ex apartments and to obtain ownership rights which would include the right to sell the apartment.
