NATO bombing of Yugoslavia

BELGRADE - The Serbian Foreign Ministry (FM) has said a NATO spokesperson's retweeting a picture featuring a "NATO AIR - Just Do It" slogan on her Twitter account represents disrespect for the Serbian victims of the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, adding that such actions are detrimental to cooperation between Serbia and NATO.

Serbian officials said they would never forget the victims of the NATO air strikes that ended the war in Kosovo in 1999, although the real death toll has not been revealed.

BELGRADE - Serbia is on Monday marking the Remembrance Day for the victims of the NATO bombing campaign which killed around 3,000 and wounded around 12,000 people 15 years ago.

During the 78-day air raids, 1,008 Yugoslav Forces troops and Serbian policemen were killed, as well as around 1,500 civilians, including 89 children, while about a dozen people remain missing.
