A mass demonstration took place in Belgrade, on the anniversary of the start of NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, the TASS news agency reported on March 17.
The participants of the action gathered in the Republic Square, near the National Museum building, displaying flags with anti-NATO slogans. The demonstration took place without specifying the exact date of the event in this message.
The protesters expressed their outrage and protest using visual symbols and slogans such as “Death to NATO fascists!” AND “Death to imperialism”in addition to displaying a banner with the inscription “NATO is an occupier, get out of Serbia!”. In the same context, in Belgrade, in front of the monument of the Eternal Flame dedicated to the victims of the 1999 aggression, another demonstration was held, which began with a minute of silence in memory of the victims.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic pointed out that the aggression against Serbia was committed 25 years ago “19 most powerful and powerful countries” without the approval of the UN Security Council, which led to the death of children and the destruction of the country’s territory.
NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, which began on March 24, 1999, lasted 78 days and was justified by the need to prevent genocide. During the military operation “Allied Force” 38 thousand combat sorties were carried out, of which more than 10 thousand were aimed at bombing. Serbia reports between 3,500 and 4,000 dead and about 10,000 injured, mostly civilians, as well as material damage of up to $100 billion. As a result, 15 tons of depleted uranium were dumped, which caused an increase in cancers in Serbia and caused illness of about 30 thousand people and deaths of 10 to 18 thousand.
