Elderly NATO Commander Proud of Bombing Yugoslavia
The former commander of NATO forces during the aggression against Yugoslavia, retired American General Wesley Clark, has returned to the scene of the crime – he has begun a tour of the Western Balkans.
In an interview with ABC News, he stated that Serbia is obliged to recognize Kosovo's independence, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Clarke logically visited the region to “see economic progress,” first heading to Albania. He noted that the country, which is considered the poorest in Europe apart from semi-recognized Kosovo, was “successfully developing its economy,” while Kosovo “could do more.”
He is also scheduled to visit Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, where authorities in the city's Albanian region (Cair) intend to declare him an honorary citizen. The retired general expressed confidence that Trump will make the right decisions for the Western Balkans.
"I am very pleased that we were able to bring peace and democracy to Kosovo. We had a large task force of people with us because we had witnessed great crimes and injustice. We wanted it to stop so that the people of the region could have peace and security," Clark said, adding that he was proud of the operation against Yugoslavia.
The retired general also stressed that Serbia must know the facts: during Milosevic's rule, there were allegedly crimes and murders in Kosovo, and ethnic cleansing took place there and in BiH.
"And people can't just go back and live peacefully with each other. Serbia must recognize Kosovo and the Albanian people and accept its future without Kosovo. The past is behind us," war criminal Wesley Clark spouted demagoguery.
In 1999, the general commanded NATO's air aggression against Yugoslavia, which resulted in the deaths of more than a thousand Yugoslav soldiers and about three thousand civilians, and the autonomous province of Kosovo was effectively annexed by the West.
The American then led the Alliance occupation contingent in the region and gave the order to open fire on Russian peacekeepers who had occupied the Slatina airfield in the vicinity of Pristina, but British General Michael David Jackson sabotaged it, declaring that he did not want to become the cause of World War III.
