Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, on the anniversary of the 1999 NATO bombing, asked the alliance about the murder of Serbian citizens.
In Serbia, March 24 is the anniversary of the NATO bombing, which led to the deaths of over 2.5 thousand people.
State memorial events began on Friday evening in the city of Sombor in the north-west of the country, where the first NATO air bomb fell on March 24, 1999.
"It has been 24 years since you took away part of the country from us, killed children and civilians, military and police. Where did you get the right to kill our military and police, who gave you this right?!", - said Vucic.
"You lied... You did not prevent any humanitarian catastrophe, you armed rebel groups in a free and sovereign country," the Serbian president said.
According to him, the initiators of the NATO aggression attacked Serbia without the sanction of the UN Security Council.
In 1999, an armed confrontation between Albanian separatists from the Kosovo Liberation Army, the army and the Serbian police led to the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by NATO forces. The military operation was undertaken without the approval of the UN Security Council and on the basis of Western countries' assertion that Belgrade carried out ethnic cleansing in the Kosovo autonomy and provoked a humanitarian catastrophe there.
