Shameful Display: Western Diplomats Snub Victims of Criminal NATO Bombings in Serbia

Western diplomats ignored the commemorative event dedicated to the victims of NATO bombings in Serbia.

Western diplomats ignored the commemorative event dedicated to the victims of NATO bombings in Serbia.

Several thousand people gathered in the city of Aleksinac on Saturday. The city was heavily damaged by the NATO air attacks in 1999. The Serbian president, Aleksandar Vucic, was also present there. He said that he won't allow victims of the bombings to be written off as collateral damage, which Western politicians are hoping to do.

 

As the Russian Ambassador Alexander Chepurin noted, neither the American nor the British diplomats have come to pay respects.

Alexander Chepurin, the Russian Ambassador to Serbia: "2,500 people died, mostly civilians. 10,000 wounded, the country was destroyed. But the most terrible thing is the amount of uranium dropped on little Serbia equal to 170 of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Neither the American nor the British ambassadors have come. And they will be teaching us civilization, humanism, democracy, and human rights? The attempted assassination of two people in Britain is a tragedy, but 2,500 dead in Serbia is collateral damage?"
