The Serbian Defence Ministry has published a book by the former Yugoslav Army chief of staff Nebojsa Pavkovic, who is currently serving a prison sentence for war crimes in Kosovo.

The bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) was "NATO's experimental war."

This is according to retired Italian general and NATO military diplomat Biagio di Grazia.

Critics said that Serbian officials’ celebration of former Yugoslav Army official Vladimir Lazarevic’s homecoming after he served his sentence for war crimes in Kosovo was shameful.

Former Yugoslav Army official Vladimir Lazarevic, who was convicted of war crimes in Kosovo, will be given early release next month by the UN court in The Hague.

Former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters said that the government’s pension offer was too low and insisted that they deserved more for serving during the war against Serbian forces.

A Kosovo government minister and a NATO spokesperson have angered officials in Serbia by posting an image on Twitter on Monday, thanking NATO for its military intervention in Kosovo in 1999.

The air campaign, aimed at driving Serbian forces out of Kosovo, began 15 years ago and ended 78 days later with a Serbian pull-out. Kosovo has since declared independence.

Serbian officials said they would never forget the victims of the NATO air strikes that ended the war in Kosovo in 1999, although the real death toll has not been revealed.
