Serbia marks another anniversary of NATO attacks

BELGRADE -- Serbia is on Tuesday marking the 16th anniversary since the beginning of NATO's air war against the country, then a part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

The attacks lasted for 11 weeks and resulted in the deaths of between 1,200 and 4,000 people, according to different sources.

EP: Most Croatian amendments rejected

BRUSSELS -- The demands of Croat MEPs to add a series of requirements related to the country's unresolved issues with Serbia to an EP resolution have mostly been rejected.

Most of these amendments either failed to pass "procedural filters" or have been watered down, Tanjug reported, after seeing the text of the harmonized amendments.

European Parliamentarians have submitted 188 amendments to a draft resolution on Montenegro, which will be discussed on Monday, most of which urge Podgorica to resolve border and property disputes with neighbouring countries.
