Serbia honors victims of NATO aggression
Serbia will always remember the victims of NATO aggression.
Serbian Defense Minister Alexander Vulin said this at an event marking the 20th anniversary of NATO aggression, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Serbia, led by Aleksandar Vucic, considers it necessary to protect the Serbs, no matter where they live.
All those who want to forget how the NATO aggression began actually want the terrible and great sacrifice of the Serbian people to be humiliated and diminished in violation of international law.
Who has the right to kill a soldier or policeman on sovereign, free soil? They died for their people, their country,” Vulin said.
He presented 40 military signs of memory to family members of fallen soldiers who defended the territory of Montenegro from NATO aggression.
NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began on March 24 and ended on June 10, 1999. Both military facilities and civilian infrastructure were under attack.
According to the FRY authorities, during the bombing the total number of civilian deaths was over 1700 people, including almost 400 children, and about 10 thousand were seriously injured.
According to the UN, 821 people are missing, most of whom are Serbs.
Operation Allied Force took lives and after its end, NATO used radioactive depleted uranium in ammunition.
