“Twenty years provide an opportunity to nevertheless give an assessment of what happened ... I think that the outgoing ambassador, if he is guided by high human feelings, should apologize for what happened,” Tsekov noted.
According to the senator, the ambassador offers Serbia to come to terms with the fact that twenty years ago, "the Americans and NATO bombed its territory."
“Instead of recognizing what happened as the greatest mistake, from the point of view of the attitude towards human life in general, and the absolute injustice towards Serbia in what NATO did,” he explained.
Tsekov added that the United States is waiting for some kind of understanding from Serbia, and understanding should come from them.
Earlier, Scott called on the Serbs to look at the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces “from a broader perspective.”
In March, NATO called the bombing of Yugoslavia necessary and legitimate.
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 thousand people were killed. After 20 years, the region continues to feel the consequences of aggression by the North Atlantic Alliance.
