In Niš, under the slogan “Never Forget”, the Day of Remembrance for NATO’s aggression is being observed, marking 27 years since Western powers, attacked the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
While in Kosovo this event honors the efforts taken to stop the humanitarian crisis caused by the Milosević regime’s aggression against the people of Kosovo.
Commemorations will take place in multiple cities, including Apatin, Vranje, and Zaječar, lasting the same duration as the intervention itself — 78 days.
These memorial events should in fact help to reflect on the lessons of the past and the importance of international intervention in preventing large-scale human suffering.
While NATO’s action was aimed at protecting civilian lives and restoring peace, some in Serbia continue to view the intervention as unfair.
Supporters of President Aleksandar Vučić often frame the aggression of the regime during that time as a necessary measure to defend Serbian territory, reflecting the ongoing political and historical debates surrounding the 1999 campaign.
