The sirens were heard for 78 days and the total number of casualties was never determined. An estimated 1,200 to 2,500 people were killed in the 11 weeks, with total material damage estimated at tens of billions of dollars.
The attack on Serbia, or the FRY, was carried out without UN Security Council approval, which was a precedent.
The order was then issued by NATO Secretary General Javier Solana to the then commander of the Allied Forces, US General Wesley Clark.
Clark later wrote in the book "Modern Warfare" that the planning of NATO's air operation against the FRY "was well underway in mid-June 1998" and was completed by the end of August that year.
After the Serbian Parliament confirmed that it did not accept the decision on foreign troops in its territory and suggested that United Nations forces monitor the peace settlement of the conflict in Kosovo, NATO launched air strikes with cruise missiles and aviation at several places on March 24, 1999 at 19.45 in Serbia and Montenegro.
Nineteen Alliance countries have launched bombing operations from ships in the Adriatic, and from four air bases in Italy.
First, the air defense and other objects of the Yugoslav Army were targeted, in Pristina, Batajnica, Rakovica (Strazevica), Mladenovac and elsewhere.
According to the Serbian government, at least 2,500 people were killed in the bombing, out of which 89 were children (according to some sources, the total number of deaths was almost 4,000), and more than 12,500 people were wounded and injured.
Recently released official data from the Serbian Ministry of Defense register about 1,008 killed soldiers and police officers.
Total material damage was then estimated at $ 100 billion. NATO's wartime losses in manpower and technology have never been made public.
Authorities in Belgrade at the time claimed that dozens of aircraft had been knocked down, which was never confirmed. Russia's APN reported that NATO lost over 400 troops and over 60 aircraft, while US President Bill Clinton said in a June 10, 1999 speech that NATO had suffered "no casualties".
The Belgrade Aviation Museum holds the remains of crashed F-117, F-16 planes, drones, cruise missiles...
There is almost no city in Serbia that was not targeted during the 11 weeks of the attack.
The bombing destroyed and damaged 25.000 housing units, disabling 470 kilometers of roads and 595 kilometers of railway tracks.
14 airports, 19 hospitals, 20 health centers, 18 kindergartens, 69 schools, 176 cultural monuments and 44 bridges were also damaged, while 38 bridges were destroyed.
During the aggression, 2,300 air strikes were carried out at 995 facilities across the country, and 1,150 fighter jets launched close to 420,000 missiles with a total mass of 22,000 tons.
NATO launched 1,300 cruise missiles, delivered 37,000 "cluster bombs", killing about 200 people and injuring hundreds, and using banned ammunition with depleted uranium.
A third of the country's power capacity was destroyed, two refineries in Pancevo and Novi Sad were bombed, and NATO forces first used so-called graphite bombs to disable the power system.
After continuous diplomatic pressures, the bombing ended with the signing of the Military-Technical Agreement in Kumanovo on June 9, 1999, and followed by the withdrawal of the FRY forces from Kosovo and Metohija three days later.
Since the NATO Secretary General issued an order to end the bombing on June 10, 1999, final missiles have fallen in the area of the village of Kololec (not far from Kosovska Kamenica) at 1.30 pm.
On that day, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1244, and 37.200 KFOR troops from 36 countries were sent to the province, tasked with safeguarding peace, security the return of refugees until broad autonomous status was defined.
Forum: NATO Aggression was and still is a crime against peace
NATO's aggression against Serbia 21 years ago was and remains a crime against peace and humanity because the action was carried out without the approval of the UN Security Council and is a gross violation of the UN Charter, the OSCE Final Document and its own Founding Act, Belgrade Forum for the World of Equals estimated on the occasion of marking the anniversary of the beginning of the NATO bombing of the then FRY.
"The aggression and subsequent occupation of Kosovo and Metohija, the illegal establishment of camp Bondsteel, one of the largest US military bases in the world, the unilateral declaration of UN-mandated territory, gross violation of UNSCR 1244, represent dangerous precedents, severe blows to European and the global security system, as well as encouraging the spread of separatism and terrorism with unprecedented consequences", Belgrade Forum said in a statement.
It is alleged that the Forum, the General and Admiral Club of Serbia and the United Youth Foundation sent a letter of protest to the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee on the initiative to award the prize to NATO.
The aforementioned organizations also believe that the authorities ask NATO countries for compensation for war damage, to list all victims of aggression as soon as possible and to initiate the work of a government body to determine the consequences of using depleted uranium missiles, to establish and build a Serbian memorial for victims of genocide in the 20th century, such as the Yad Vashem Memorial (The World Holocaust Remembrance Center) in Israel and the Ararat Memorial in Armenia.
They also believe it is time for the governments of NATO and EU member states to reconsider their role in the 1999 aggression and policies against Serbia and the Serbian people, to apologize publicly for the victims and illegal destruction of Serbia (FRY) and to return to the implementation of UNSCR 1244 as the only acceptable, principled basis for a just and sustainable peaceful solution to the future status of Kosovo and Metohija, as a province with broad autonomy within Serbia, the statement said.
Sorry, with all of their imperfections, the media is relatively free in the US and not under state control, like it is here.

I must have missed the many divisions of NATO heavy tanks steaming in from Hungary along the flat plains of Vojvodina and taking Belgrade.
That would have been not only more courageous, but much more effective than 79 days of bombing. Ultimately is was Clinton telling Yeltsin to cave in or Belgrade would be carpet bombed.
Still, NATO won in Yugoslavia. It just lost China (thanks for the embassy) and Russia. Now that's a really smart strategy for you!
(EU Dude, 27 March 2020 22:35)
21 years after nato bombing and Kosovo has no government. Who was saying Kurti is going to show Serbia who's boss?? Sure, when he becomes the new head janitor at makdonalds on Klinton blvd ahhaah what a laughing stock
(Bre, 26 March 2020 15:05)
...and Albanians in Kosovo are still fighting each other! The 'government' of two months has collapsed.
As for the NATO bumbing, did it stop the assassination of Albanian PDK members? Nope. Maybe Milosevic did Ibrahim 'NeoGhandi, innit?' Rugova a favor by keeping him under detention during the war? After all, when it comes to fighting over the spoil(s)ed, most of the leaders behave like wild cats.

"no casualties'..LOL
Then put out the numbers of your damages...prove BG & Moscow wrong!!!
What??? You won't?? LOL, that's because you CAN'T!! The embarrassment would be too much for NATO, LOL
Face it! - The Serbs (with Russian help) showed the world how one defends his country!!! It's still being studied today by military academies around the world!
Yes, Milosevic yielded to overpowering circumstances, but he brilliantly put in place a long term strategy that is yielding fruitful results today....Kosovo I Mehotija issue is FAR from over.....;)

How does one prove a negative?
The US had no casualties, that's a fact. Do you think the US would be able to cover up one death of a soldier, let alone 400?
They have a free press there. If there were any dead and Clinton was saying no casualties the dead soldier's families would be on every news channel. Sorry, with all of their imperfections, the media is relatively free in the US and not under state control, like it is here.
If Sebia shot down 60 planes you would think they would show more of them to the public, or did they all disintegrate?
And by all accounts the Russians and Uncle Boris left Serbia to their own in 1999.
The only thing being studied is how NOT to negotiate when you are overwhelmingly overpowered.

Partnership for Peace???
I'm sure Nikolic signed that agreement with the devil!!!
After using NATO Depleted Uranium on Serbs, this traitor signs an agreement or call it a contract with his enemies.
Did the Serbian government have a referendum and let the people vote?
99.9% of Serbs would be ashamed to be apart of NATO so the government just implemented it by stealth.
U.S U.K and Germany are trying so hard to make Kosovo* a U.N member in order to justify the illegal bombing it did.
Vucic has signed something? He just hasn't told the people yet.
Fcuk the U.S and E.U
We will remain neutral like Swiss

Brought to you by your NATO friends, enjoy. And Weak minded Serbian politicians want now to join EU and be part of the NORTH ATLANTIC TERROR ORGANIZATION.
They are advancing because of their pride and convictions. They are advancing because they remember, the humiliation of their fathers. Their memory is long, but vital and strong. It is this memory of the battle of Kosovo that kept the Serbian culture alive. The Battle of Kosovo was a military loss to the Serbs. They lost country, language, and ... Ottomans then. Now same traders want to join EU and NATO
You have forgotten 1389 shame, shame!
(No EU, 24 March 2020 20:04)
If we(Serbia) ask for compensation from NATO for damages and victims, will Germany and Japan do the same for WWII. For that matter, even Al Queda and ISIS will ask for similar compensation.
(Nana Guric, 24 March 2020 17:23)
Not a single person celebrate this.
The absolute majority of nations that took part are ashamed and military leaders dont talk about it.
It caused a problem that is not even solved 21 years later.
(Staff, 24 March 2020 16:26)
A truly barbaric act by America and its little gang of murderers.
Against all international law and humanity. I really hope there is a God.
But when the likes of the witch Albright are around expect such shameful acts. This is the witch who said that the deaths of half a million Iraqi children was ok and worth it.
(View from the uk, 24 March 2020 14:33)
People in Russia and Serbia will remember that "humanitarian" NATO help for centuries to come. I am sure, it was very-very "smart" move from NATO to lose such allies.
In addition to that - disregarding the comments you may read on B92 - people in Croatia aren't that happy with it.
And in one exotic-looking town I like (P****en) I started to ask people. I was lucky, a known local folk singer was there in a costume shop, she wanted to talk to me - BEHIND closed doors... just in case.
Some may not believe here, some may ridicule it. Welcome to troll, it's COVID-19 time, what I day is all fairy tale and never happened. And telling you ahead of time: I am the biggest @sshole on the planet Earth and crazy Russian village idiot, too, who is only a phantasy-Russian, in the reality a Serb Dapple.
Say "thanks" to me, I saved your internet bandwidth!
