Milica Rakic

Serbian officials held commemorations on Friday in memory of the civilians who were killed during NATO's bombing campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999, a military intervention that ended the Kosovo war.

There are memorials across Serbia and Kosovo to commemorate hundreds of people who died during NATO's 78-day bombing campaign against Yugoslavia, which began on March 24, 1999 and is being marked with an official commemoration in Belgrade on Wednesday evening.

Scott did this is an elementary school last week in Apatin, a town in northern Serbia, when he showed pupils a map of their country without their southern province, i.e., Kosovo and Metohija.

Vucic said NATO's 1999 bombing of Serbia was a difficult and terrible time for the country, while a symbol of everything that NATO called collateral damage - was the suffering of children.
Asked about his memories of that time, the president told reporters in Belgrade:

Serbian Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Aleksandar Vulin has said that Croatia's measure to "completely close borders" amounted to "racism."

"There's no other word for this," Vulin said in Belgrade as he was attending the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to Milica Rakic - a Serbian toddler killed in a NATO airstrike in 1999.
