"The US ambassador to Serbia called on the Serbs to look at the 1999 NATO bombing" from a broader perspective. " That is, to go out to the square and amicably give praise to the USA for bombing, ”he wrote.
According to the senator, this statement by the ambassador is a demonstration of "incredible cynicism."
“Let the Americans say“ look wider ”at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor,” he added.
Earlier, Scott, commenting on the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces, said that "neither Serbia nor the United States can take the time back," but the Serbian and American sides can view the events of 1999 "from a broader perspective."
However, he urged the two countries to move forward, noting that there is a “good foundation” for this and that “strong historical and cultural ties” exist between Serbia and the United States.
On March 24, 1999, NATO forces, without the sanction of the UN Security Council, launched an operation on the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. As a result of attacks by Western aviation, not only military facilities were destroyed, but also schools and hospitals. During the hostilities, which lasted 78 days, more than 2,000 people were killed. After 20 years, the region continues to feel the consequences of aggression by the North Atlantic Alliance.
