US Ambassador to Serbia Christopher Hill expressed his condolences to the families of those killed in the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia and hoped that the Serbian people would forget their grievances. He wrote about it on his Twitter account.
“I know that the Serbian people will never forget this terrible moment and shouldn’t. The Serbian people will never leave their grief behind, but I believe they are strong enough to forget their grievances,” the diplomat said.
He noted that the American commitment to the partnership with Serbia is unwavering. The two countries, he said, can together build a better future that the Serbian people deserve.
Recall that exactly 24 years ago, a NATO military operation against sovereign Yugoslavia began. In the North Atlantic Alliance, it was cynically called “humanitarian intervention”.
In total, the Allied Force operation lasted 78 days. As a result, thousands of civilians died, including children.
In addition, the NATO army has caused great damage to the country’s civilian infrastructure. Even houses and monuments were destroyed.
