"In July 1995, the horror of Srebrenica, including the humiliating surrender of Dutch peacekeepers to the Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladic, and the subsequent murder of seven thousand Muslim men, finally overcame American and European reticence to use force against the Bosnian Serbs."
"To many, Mladic’s Serbs had seemed a formidable opponent; estimates of the number of ground troops needed to intervene in Bosnia were high. Bosnian Serb brutality against defenseless civilians, however, masked weakness. In early August, Croat and Muslim forces that America trained and equipped attacked and began to rout the Bosnian Serbs," stated McMaster.
He also mentioned a tragedy in Sarajevo, at the Markale market.
"In response to a brutal and senseless mortar attack on the Sarajevo marketplace that killed thirty-eight people and wounded eighty-five others, NATO air power struck Serbian forces in Bosnia hard. During the first twenty-four hours of Operation Deliberate Force, 300 strike sorties attacked Serb forces. It was a sharp contrast with the previous two years of irresolute and ineffective air strikes that NATO carried out in Bosnia under Operation Deny Flight."
McMaster also wrote about NATO's 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia, then consisting of Serbia and Montenegro:
"Macedonia provided a base of operations, but the situation there was unstable; the majority of its populace was sympathetic to the Serbs and feared an uprising by their own ethnic Albanian population. Protests in Greece, a NATO member, threatened to shut down critical supply lines. The French and Italians were unenthusiastic about an intensive air campaign against Serbia and favored measured attacks to communicate resolve. Despite working on war plans from May of 1998 to March of 1999, differences among NATO members kept those plans in flux. (...) The assumption that the war in Kosovo would lie in the realm of certainty undermined NATO’s ability to meet objectives and prevent suffering. Near-certainty combined with long range precision fires was supposed to vitiate the need for ground forces and a make possible a fast, low-cost, low-casualty war. The campaign was supposed to last five days; it lasted eleven weeks and ended after 40,000 aircraft sorties and the threat of a ground invasion."
According to him, then Yugoslav president, Slobodan Milosevic, "anticipated NATO's actions and countered them":
"He moved troops to the border of Kosovo weeks prior to the initiation of air and missile attacks. When the campaign started, those forces threw the Albanian population into the street, stripped them of their identification, looted their possessions, burned their houses, and drove them like cattle toward the Macedonian and Albanian borders. NATO was surprised and unprepared. The air campaign had the unintended consequence of actually accelerating the brutal ethnic cleansing operations it was intended to stop."
According to McMaster, NATO hit many targets "unintentionally," while Belgrade "had access to plans through spies at NATO headquarters":
"The Serbs’ ability to obtain considerable intelligence on allied operations despite their technological inferiority draws into question the denial component of 'information superiority' against even a foe that has very basic capabilities. The Serbs evacuated certain targets soon after they appeared on target lists. It is likely that the Yugoslav government had access to plans through spies at NATO headquarters. Additionally, spies stationed outside Aviano Airbase provided early warning when aircraft departed on missions."
"NATO greatly exaggerated losses inflicted on the Serbian military. Initial reports estimated that the bombing destroyed over 450 artillery pieces, 120 tanks and self-propelled artillery and 220 armored personnel carriers. Nothing close to those numbers, however, were counted physically. The Allied Force Munitions Effectiveness Assessment Team later reported the following numbers of destroyed equipment: 14 tanks, 18 armored personnel carriers, and 20 artillery pieces. Those numbers suggested that less than five percent of the Serbian combat systems had been destroyed during the seventy-eight day campaign. NATO’s effort to attack enemy ground units failed. The extent of that failure became apparent only after the air war was over," wrote McMaster.
In the end Prince Lazar and Milos Obilic became saints in the Serbian Church while Sultan Murad I aka Great Prince Dmitry I Ivanovic (Donskoy) became saint in the Russian Church ... He was burried in the Imperial Cemetery in Geeza Valley, Misr (now Egypt) ... Serbian elite totally vaporized that day because it had never existed but was a sort of the Russian one.

Judging by your grammar you share the same IQ as this general. If you did a simple google search you would find Osama Bin Laden was flown into Bosnia, he was in fact a CIA agent. But you don't have to believe it, it is all "fake news." Instead, please lay a red carpet out for your takfiri/Wahhabi neighbours, they will be sure to convert your daughter, nieces and marry them and probably sexually assault your wife. Or is that fake news as well?
(Kosovo_Polje1389, 27 February 2017 14:32)
I wonder why this general will not talk about how the US flew in thousands of mudjahedin into Bosnia and Albania (even Osama Bin Laden visited Bosnia). I also wonder why this general will not talk about how more than half of the coffins in Srebrenica are actually EMPTY! This general is probably sitting at home complaing that CNN is fake news, yet his IQ of 65 allows him to be a hypocrite and actually embrace fake news!

If you can't prove it, it is useless to make false claims, especially since it is so easy to check you lying. Stop wasting everyone's time.

Once again you are still living in delusion. Trump will only intervene if allies are attacked. Defending your allies is something United States simply must do beacuse of their foreign policy as a superpower. You will never get Kosovo back. You lost. Bye bye!
(Goldeneagle, 23 February 2017 12:43)
Still living in delusion eh? Weeks ago you said Trump will return Kosovo back to Serbia, instead Trump And Trumps administration will support Albanians 110% and make sure that Kosovo joins the United Nations in the near future. Now you are telling things will change in France? HA! Think again!
(Goldeneagle, 22 February 2017 19:42)
===…==
Nobody is saying that Trump will do anything to help Serbs, but Trump has made it very clear that he isn't going to intervene in the problems of other countries. That's all we need. All we need is for him to stay out of it and we can take care of our own business.
Trump is not blind to Islam and has made that clear as well.
So please you Albanians, stop saying that we say that Trump will help Serbs get Kosovo back. No he won't but at the same time as long as he stays out of it, it's as good as.

Moscow may have good reason to not be pleased with Trump's replacement for ousted former national security adviser Michael Flynn. McMaster reportedly considers Russia a threat to global stability -- a sharp contrast to Trump and Flynn. [link]

Don't know what most of those nationalist are smoking lately but your dream for anything doing wrong or trying harming Albanians and specially Kosovo its over that chance you did have sadly from 94 to 99 against Albanians in Kosovo when 98% of them had only kitchen knifes in there home and yes you did what you did burning .killing ethnic cleansing etc but did anyone realized how long took to regroup Albanians? not only those living in but thousands abroad who have they love ones living in Kosovo they Storm back in, and can any serb do that living there lovely life in USA,CANADA OR EU to come and fight the war possible maybe for Serbia itself if had been attacked THAT what I don't know but in Kosovo if in case something happen again(I hope never war in Balkan) try and ask them and possible you will get a sweet answer as je.i se from majority of them? so please people forget the hate and wars because that sh.t will take you back a another 50 years and you will get retired working for 200 or 300 euro as you do and never being able to enjoy a sweet vacation...as other doooo ...CHEERS...

Never forget, never forgive,
I was in Kosova recently, and the situation is much better than Serbs could ever imagine. The people there seem quite happy as opposed to the whiners in Serbia and the youth in Kosova are very up beat. However, I understand that Serbia has been just dealt a strong dose of reality from Trump and are so disappointed the USA has reaffirmed their support of Kosova. It is not surprising we are hearing the wails of depressed and desperate chetniks here on B92 after they put so much hope in Trump and all he did was fart in their face.

I smell Albanian Muslim here, polluting comment boards. If I was you I would be worrying more that president Trump ,Muslim ban us coming soon. Rather then writing comments on Serbian News site.
With Americans we Serbians have shared Christian beliefs. What do you believe? In religion of "peace " as president Trump said.
(Never forgive never forget, 23 February 2017 00:02)
We don't live in the same country. Kosovo is an independent state and a diffrent country. We have NOTHING to do with eachother. Why do serbs live in America if they hate it so much? They would fit better in Russia instead. America will NEVER be on your side. Go back to Russia instead of polluting America!
(Goldeneagle, 22 February 2017 23:08)
I never voted for Trump to give Serbia Kosovo and Metohija back. We are Christian nation and we have already live in the same country with Albanian Muslims. It is not fun. When Clintons sided with Albanians little they knew that American Serbians will help Bush win Ohio in 2004, and that we will vote for Trump this election in Pennsylvania, Winsconsin and Ohio. All are friends here can search interesting article " How old grudge of Serbian Americans help Trump win Pennsylvania ". You see Albanians are mostly located in New York an New Jersey , states strongly in Democratic Party column. There is lots of American Serbians in California and Illinois, their votes don't mater. And as you can see our swing vote from Pennsylvania Winsconsin and Ohio definitely can influence election.
Enjoy the read

Uck were civilians with guns. Not soldiers. Next it will be real soldiers. But i doubt you can do anything now that Trump and his administration is on our side! I don't think you want to make him angry!
(Goldeneagle, 22 February 2017 22:12)
You mean the pathetic rabble otherwise known as the KLA who lost every battle against Serbian troops. Even with NATO air cover. No matter how much training you received from your Western sponsors you still lost every firefight.
Man for man Albanian 'soldiers' are no match for the Serbian armed forces. A bunch of drug dealing cut throats.

Americans now admit that the damages to the Serbian army was way less than they suggested during the war. Why wouldn't the number of muslim men killed in Srebrenica be an exageeation to?
(Hank the Tank, 22 February 2017 18:04)
The reason why little Serbia could even have such a advanced spy network within NATO is because there were many within the security structures of NATO countries who were sympathetic to Serbia during the aggression. Political changes in these countries are taking place and that is very positive for Serbia's interests!
Brexit and Trump are not directly related to the Balkans, but these events are a signal that the current order is crumbling. Look out for France in a few months' time. Bigger changes could be coming out of there than anything going on in the UK and US. If Serbia's political elite are serious and capable, they can exploit these changes for Serbia's benefit.
This guy here is General Flynn's replacement. He loves war and fake nation-building. Trump is not going to have it easy, the deep state will try to hurt him everyday until he gives up control or is replaced.
(Ari Gold, 22 February 2017 17:01)
You seem to be very proud that Serbs killed 4,000 civilians. You should apply for a Nobel Peace Prize. A pity you "didn`t" kill 8,000. You could have a Lenin Peace Prize too.
(Free, 22 February 2017 13:52) and if you did not read the story it was all men of fighting age they killed and not civilians ....at it was 7000 fighters....they let the woman and children go....so they wiped out fighters no big deal...but now former Yugoslavia now see the American propaganda and they caused the war in Yugoslavia, the only country that doesn't is Croatia but they are a fascist state even today as I see they don't like any minorities in their country...but at least the rest of you do....Croatia is a puppet until they disappear....krajina is also Serbian lands and not Croatian....Croatia in history was Zagreb and surroundings....Serbs should take eastern Slavonia and join Serbia since croats want to play the race game...new world is here and its led by Russia and china this is your time...old aging American and grandpa nato days are long gone...Kosovo Is Serbian lands....

If I remember correctly the Hague tribunal (ICTY) could not determine which side shelled the Markale market. Otherwise he seemed pretty informed judging from the article.

I'm glad to see that NATO has realized that their was a spy network within NATO giving information and early warnings to Serbian forces of the targets that were on the list to be hit!Their were some reports that some pilots from an ally nation would deliberately drop their bombs and missiles early or completely miss their intended targets! This is crucial intelligence for NATO and future operations if Serbia is to be hit again in the future! I for 1 would not use some NATO members for future operations against Serbia, instead inwould keep these NATO member nation on the ground for maintaining the equipment while at the same time monitor them, instead I would use the new NATO member nations with the sensitive task of military strikes against targets in Serbia ones that can be depended on the likes of Albania & Croatia and I would definitely use a majority of Kosovan ground troops the next time around as they now the ins and outs of what remained of Serbia as many have traveled and served in Serbias military during the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 1990s Thru out Serbia! I have traveled to kragujevac, Belgrade and novi Belgrade on many many occasions!
(Peter the Rocky Mountains, 22 February 2017 14:13)
SJ Next since the Serbs killed 8000 why are there less than 4000 buried there and the bulk of burials are from other fronts not Srebrenica? LOL.

I was hoping for a smart one from Trumpy but had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and he chose this multi star clown. First of all it’s supposed to be 8000 which were killed in Srebrenica by the Serbs. These guys can’t even get their own BS straight. Next since the Serbs killed 8000 why are there less than 4000 buried there and the bulk of burials are from other fronts not Srebrenica? LOL.
The only time American and European action took place was after Dayton was signed and Serb forces were to pull back to agreed lines and that’s why we get Croats talking about taking Banja Luka LOL. So when it was safe the US Piss and Wind threw a couple of bombs.
"In response to a brutal and senseless mortar attack on the Sarajevo marketplace that killed thirty-eight people and wounded eighty-five others”
Is this guy drunk? This occurred very early in the war. This was done by the Bosniaks working with the US so the US could use this as an excuse to place sanctions on Serbia.
The only part he got right was that NATO greatly exaggerated losses inflicted on the Serbian military. After the seventy-eight day campaign NATO’s effort to attack enemy ground units FAILED. Let’s hear that again FAILED. That’s why Colonel Klink aka general Wesley Clarke was dismissed 3 months earlier as head of NATO – too much BS to William Cohen about a fabulous victory LOL. This guy is an ADVISOR not a secretary.

From Michael Flynn a pro-Russian NSA leader, to McMaster who is completely opposite of Flynn.
This pick was a great choice if you're in favor of western allies. If you happen to be a serb or Russian, this is a nightmare.
Most importantly, senior high ranking republicans, like senator McCain and Lindsay Graham are thrilled with this pick. Even democrats are very happy to see this for a change.
Russians tried, but they have failed, as usual for the last decades they have been failing to even come close to U.S.

K.P,
If you can't prove it, it is useless to make false claims, especially since it is so easy to check you lying. Stop wasting everyone's time.

In the end Prince Lazar and Milos Obilic became saints in the Serbian Church while Sultan Murad I aka Great Prince Dmitry I Ivanovic (Donskoy) became saint in the Russian Church ... He was burried in the Imperial Cemetery in Geeza Valley, Misr (now Egypt) ... Serbian elite totally vaporized that day because it had never existed but was a sort of the Russian one.

From Michael Flynn a pro-Russian NSA leader, to McMaster who is completely opposite of Flynn.
This pick was a great choice if you're in favor of western allies. If you happen to be a serb or Russian, this is a nightmare.
Most importantly, senior high ranking republicans, like senator McCain and Lindsay Graham are thrilled with this pick. Even democrats are very happy to see this for a change.
Russians tried, but they have failed, as usual for the last decades they have been failing to even come close to U.S.

I'm glad to see that NATO has realized that their was a spy network within NATO giving information and early warnings to Serbian forces of the targets that were on the list to be hit!Their were some reports that some pilots from an ally nation would deliberately drop their bombs and missiles early or completely miss their intended targets! This is crucial intelligence for NATO and future operations if Serbia is to be hit again in the future! I for 1 would not use some NATO members for future operations against Serbia, instead inwould keep these NATO member nation on the ground for maintaining the equipment while at the same time monitor them, instead I would use the new NATO member nations with the sensitive task of military strikes against targets in Serbia ones that can be depended on the likes of Albania & Croatia and I would definitely use a majority of Kosovan ground troops the next time around as they now the ins and outs of what remained of Serbia as many have traveled and served in Serbias military during the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 1990s Thru out Serbia! I have traveled to kragujevac, Belgrade and novi Belgrade on many many occasions!

We don't live in the same country. Kosovo is an independent state and a diffrent country. We have NOTHING to do with eachother. Why do serbs live in America if they hate it so much? They would fit better in Russia instead. America will NEVER be on your side. Go back to Russia instead of polluting America!

SJ Next since the Serbs killed 8000 why are there less than 4000 buried there and the bulk of burials are from other fronts not Srebrenica? LOL.
You seem to be very proud that Serbs killed 4,000 civilians. You should apply for a Nobel Peace Prize. A pity you "didn`t" kill 8,000. You could have a Lenin Peace Prize too.
(Free, 22 February 2017 13:52)
Still living in delusion eh? Weeks ago you said Trump will return Kosovo back to Serbia, instead Trump And Trumps administration will support Albanians 110% and make sure that Kosovo joins the United Nations in the near future. Now you are telling things will change in France? HA! Think again!

(Free, 22 February 2017 13:52) and if you did not read the story it was all men of fighting age they killed and not civilians ....at it was 7000 fighters....they let the woman and children go....so they wiped out fighters no big deal...but now former Yugoslavia now see the American propaganda and they caused the war in Yugoslavia, the only country that doesn't is Croatia but they are a fascist state even today as I see they don't like any minorities in their country...but at least the rest of you do....Croatia is a puppet until they disappear....krajina is also Serbian lands and not Croatian....Croatia in history was Zagreb and surroundings....Serbs should take eastern Slavonia and join Serbia since croats want to play the race game...new world is here and its led by Russia and china this is your time...old aging American and grandpa nato days are long gone...Kosovo Is Serbian lands....
(nwo, 22 February 2017 16:07)
Uck were civilians with guns. Not soldiers. Next it will be real soldiers. But i doubt you can do anything now that Trump and his administration is on our side! I don't think you want to make him angry!
(Goldeneagle, 22 February 2017 22:12)
I was hoping for a smart one from Trumpy but had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and he chose this multi star clown. First of all it’s supposed to be 8000 which were killed in Srebrenica by the Serbs. These guys can’t even get their own BS straight. Next since the Serbs killed 8000 why are there less than 4000 buried there and the bulk of burials are from other fronts not Srebrenica? LOL.
The only time American and European action took place was after Dayton was signed and Serb forces were to pull back to agreed lines and that’s why we get Croats talking about taking Banja Luka LOL. So when it was safe the US Piss and Wind threw a couple of bombs.
"In response to a brutal and senseless mortar attack on the Sarajevo marketplace that killed thirty-eight people and wounded eighty-five others”
Is this guy drunk? This occurred very early in the war. This was done by the Bosniaks working with the US so the US could use this as an excuse to place sanctions on Serbia.
The only part he got right was that NATO greatly exaggerated losses inflicted on the Serbian military. After the seventy-eight day campaign NATO’s effort to attack enemy ground units FAILED. Let’s hear that again FAILED. That’s why Colonel Klink aka general Wesley Clarke was dismissed 3 months earlier as head of NATO – too much BS to William Cohen about a fabulous victory LOL. This guy is an ADVISOR not a secretary.

Never forget, never forgive,
I was in Kosova recently, and the situation is much better than Serbs could ever imagine. The people there seem quite happy as opposed to the whiners in Serbia and the youth in Kosova are very up beat. However, I understand that Serbia has been just dealt a strong dose of reality from Trump and are so disappointed the USA has reaffirmed their support of Kosova. It is not surprising we are hearing the wails of depressed and desperate chetniks here on B92 after they put so much hope in Trump and all he did was fart in their face.
(Thompson, 23 February 2017 00:57)
Once again you are still living in delusion. Trump will only intervene if allies are attacked. Defending your allies is something United States simply must do beacuse of their foreign policy as a superpower. You will never get Kosovo back. You lost. Bye bye!

Seems like you are still believing in fairly tails as Milosevic believed and dressed as Serbian prince who promised a new era for the Serbs on 24 April 1987 in Fushe Kosove (Kosovo Polje) every Serb will eat with golden spoon ..but sadly got the Serbia in history books for bad things you can only imagine and sadly still your country cant wake up from the bad dreams and still until today not telling the truth to the Serbians who live in Serbia .. remember that datum its the beginning of the Serbia's failure find out for yourself google it don't be scared from truth it will not bite you.. and after come and comment get the fact's wright not the emotions..
(justhetrutrh, 24 February 2017 03:05)
Americans now admit that the damages to the Serbian army was way less than they suggested during the war. Why wouldn't the number of muslim men killed in Srebrenica be an exageeation to?
(Hank the Tank, 22 February 2017 18:04)
The reason why little Serbia could even have such a advanced spy network within NATO is because there were many within the security structures of NATO countries who were sympathetic to Serbia during the aggression. Political changes in these countries are taking place and that is very positive for Serbia's interests!
Brexit and Trump are not directly related to the Balkans, but these events are a signal that the current order is crumbling. Look out for France in a few months' time. Bigger changes could be coming out of there than anything going on in the UK and US. If Serbia's political elite are serious and capable, they can exploit these changes for Serbia's benefit.
This guy here is General Flynn's replacement. He loves war and fake nation-building. Trump is not going to have it easy, the deep state will try to hurt him everyday until he gives up control or is replaced.
(Ari Gold, 22 February 2017 17:01)
You mean the pathetic rabble otherwise known as the KLA who lost every battle against Serbian troops. Even with NATO air cover. No matter how much training you received from your Western sponsors you still lost every firefight.
Man for man Albanian 'soldiers' are no match for the Serbian armed forces. A bunch of drug dealing cut throats.

===…==
Nobody is saying that Trump will do anything to help Serbs, but Trump has made it very clear that he isn't going to intervene in the problems of other countries. That's all we need. All we need is for him to stay out of it and we can take care of our own business.
Trump is not blind to Islam and has made that clear as well.
So please you Albanians, stop saying that we say that Trump will help Serbs get Kosovo back. No he won't but at the same time as long as he stays out of it, it's as good as.

Don't know what most of those nationalist are smoking lately but your dream for anything doing wrong or trying harming Albanians and specially Kosovo its over that chance you did have sadly from 94 to 99 against Albanians in Kosovo when 98% of them had only kitchen knifes in there home and yes you did what you did burning .killing ethnic cleansing etc but did anyone realized how long took to regroup Albanians? not only those living in but thousands abroad who have they love ones living in Kosovo they Storm back in, and can any serb do that living there lovely life in USA,CANADA OR EU to come and fight the war possible maybe for Serbia itself if had been attacked THAT what I don't know but in Kosovo if in case something happen again(I hope never war in Balkan) try and ask them and possible you will get a sweet answer as je.i se from majority of them? so please people forget the hate and wars because that sh.t will take you back a another 50 years and you will get retired working for 200 or 300 euro as you do and never being able to enjoy a sweet vacation...as other doooo ...CHEERS...

Moscow may have good reason to not be pleased with Trump's replacement for ousted former national security adviser Michael Flynn. McMaster reportedly considers Russia a threat to global stability -- a sharp contrast to Trump and Flynn. [link]

I never voted for Trump to give Serbia Kosovo and Metohija back. We are Christian nation and we have already live in the same country with Albanian Muslims. It is not fun. When Clintons sided with Albanians little they knew that American Serbians will help Bush win Ohio in 2004, and that we will vote for Trump this election in Pennsylvania, Winsconsin and Ohio. All are friends here can search interesting article " How old grudge of Serbian Americans help Trump win Pennsylvania ". You see Albanians are mostly located in New York an New Jersey , states strongly in Democratic Party column. There is lots of American Serbians in California and Illinois, their votes don't mater. And as you can see our swing vote from Pennsylvania Winsconsin and Ohio definitely can influence election.
Enjoy the read

@goldeneagle
I smell Albanian Muslim here, polluting comment boards. If I was you I would be worrying more that president Trump ,Muslim ban us coming soon. Rather then writing comments on Serbian News site.
With Americans we Serbians have shared Christian beliefs. What do you believe? In religion of "peace " as president Trump said.

If I remember correctly the Hague tribunal (ICTY) could not determine which side shelled the Markale market. Otherwise he seemed pretty informed judging from the article.

Judging by your grammar you share the same IQ as this general. If you did a simple google search you would find Osama Bin Laden was flown into Bosnia, he was in fact a CIA agent. But you don't have to believe it, it is all "fake news." Instead, please lay a red carpet out for your takfiri/Wahhabi neighbours, they will be sure to convert your daughter, nieces and marry them and probably sexually assault your wife. Or is that fake news as well?
