Downtown Aleksinac, small mining town in central Yugoslavia
Subotica On Friday, April 16 th 1999, NATO attacked the city of Subotica for the first time. Subotica lies on the very border with Hungary, over 600 km/350 miles away from Kosovo. About 70% of Subotica's population are ethnic Hungarians! The ethnic Hungarian party - Vojvodina's Hungarian Union governs the city, and Hungarians live peacefully with other ethnic communities in the northern province of Serbia - Vojvodina. A whole street in the residential quarter of the city was completely demolished by NATO planes. All destroyed objects were civilian.
Vranje is industrial center in south Serbia. In NATO attacks residential suburb is badly damaged. In the attack two people were wounded while working in the field near Vranje. Irena, 16 years old girl, was severely wounded. The next day, she died in a hospital, due to scull fracture caused by shrapnel of NATO missile. Her father was seriously injured. Several more missiles hit the area around Vranje and caused considerable damage. In the NATO attack local Orthodox Church was damaged.

NOVI SAD is the third largest city in Serbia and the capital of Vojvodina, northern autonomous region of Serbia. The last local elections were won by a coalition of democratic parties opposed to Slobodan Milosevic's regime.
Bridge over “The beautiful blue Danube”
The bridge in Beska, Beska part of the E-75 international highway (important link between the South and the rest of Europe) is severely damaged. This is one of the eight bridges on the Danube. Seven are damaged or destroyed since the beginning of the NATO offensive.
Even though the third bridge in Novi Sad was seriously damaged and practically out of use for any kind oftraffic, it was bombed again. Zezelj bridge was hit by four bombs in the middle of the day while the waterworks repair crews were working on the bridge, trying to patch up water pipes which supply the Srem side with water. After three attacks and seven direct hits this concrete beauty became a symbol of resistance for all the citizens of Novi Sad.
A residential suburb of Backa Palanka was demolished in a NATO attack. Backa Palanka bridge, linking Serbia with Croatia, was damaged by NATO. Despite the fact that the bridge is in the North of Serbia, more than 400 miles from Kosovo, it was targeted again and sustained even more damage.
Asking Why Targets? "No target is off limits" – Said Mr. Clinton as the military action against Yugoslavia began. DO YOU RECOGINZE THEIR FACES? THEY WERE ALSO AT THE PROTEST JUST TWO WINTERS AGO! WE ARE ALL TARGETS NOW!
Aleksinac, Yugoslavia. He survived NATO democratic bombs.
Cacak, Yugoslavia. She didn’t survive.
8. April 1999. `Chigota’, training facility of the Medical Institute, was hit. Everything has been destroyed in the area of 2, 000 square meters: Ski Center facility, Children`s recreation center with 60 beds, an out-patient clinic, kitchen, diningroom, restaurant, training rooms and other accompanying facilities. Nedjo Sretena Urosevic, born 1968 Radoje Slavka Marjanovic, born 1965 villager Milenko Radojice Savic, born 1974, whose 25 th birthday was day before
Yugoslav Albanians are also victims of NATO bombing 85 died
NATO bombing and OESC observers withdrawal caused a major deterioration of security and a genuine humanitarian catastrophe in Kosovo. Irony lies in the fact that under the pretext of relieving civilian suffering, a situation has developed where those same civilians, common people, suffer the most. In the bloody triangle constructed by NATO, special police forces of the Milosevic regime and the secessionist military Albanian terrorist gangs (KLA), common citizens have no way out.
If you don’t like what they say…JUST KILL ‘EM! Radio TV Serbia
“He dropped his bomb in good faith, as you would expect of a trained pilot from a democratic country” NATO officials
Great shot NATO!
Don’t bother your dreams this is just a “collateral damage”.
WHAT CAN NATO DO? ? NATO is not planing to use DU ammunition in bombing, NATO already does it, and literally EACH missile fired was filled with depleted uranium. On each explosion, 80% of DU turns into uranium oxide, consisting of 0. 5 micron-particles. Once inhaled, it is equivalent to 20 doses of lung X-raying for a lifetime (due to long time of half-decay). This is the cause of so-called Gulf-syndrome, noticed after the Gulf war. There are 80 thousands of veterans of that war with identical symptoms, which means that both sides are in danger. Why would they care about us, if they don't care for their own soldiers?
CLUSTER BOMBS used in SERBIA forbidden for use under GENEVA CONVENTION
Let’s talk about…. . Sex, Lies and Video Taped Bombs on Yugoslavia
"The Matrix, " a film about a young hero in a trenchcoat who is able to blows away everything in sight, is the number one film this week in the country. DOES THIS APPLY AT HOME ONLY? What about NATO intervention in Yugoslavia? What kind of an example is Clinton giving US youth by preaching military options as the only kind of dealing with conflict? What about Yugoslav children? Are they not enough of a wake-up call?
Demonizing the Serbs, to save face By Richard Gwyn - Home and Away. . . The demonizing of Serbs has become the unadmitted policy of NATO. Day after day, NATO officials like spokesman Jamie Shea use hot-button phrases like "Holocaust" and "genocide, " and make accusations about mass rapes, human shields, mass graves, without providing any specific evidence for them. This week, Shea declared that the Serbs in Kosovo were rounding up Albanian youths "to use as human shields or as blood donors for wounded Serbs. " The Yugoslav Health Minister described this accusation as "disgusting. " She's right. Unless substantiated, these kind of hearsay accusations are dangerously close to hate propaganda In every war, truth is always the first casualty - from the mythical story of the mass rape of Belgian nuns by the Germans in World War I to the totally fabricated (by a U. S. PR firm hired by the Kuwaitis) story that the invading Iraqi soldiers had torn babies from out of oxygen incubators. But a war conducted for the sake of altruism - if also for the sake of NATO's self-interest in creating a job for itself - ought to be conducted by some minimal standards of decency and morality. As the war has progressed, NATO has performed increasingly as an immoral organization (also as a thoroughly incompetent one, but that's another matter). Its military strategy having failed - despite the bombing, the Serbs have actually added to troops in Kosovo - NATO is now conducting a war of attrition against the Serb people. It is out to inflict so much pain upon the Serb people, by bombing bridges across the Danube far from the fighting, by destroying heating plants and fertilizer plants and TV towers, and passenger trains, that they will force their government to surrender. NATO can't admit this of course. But to justify the increasing "collateral" damage, and the killing and wounding of civilians, it now depends on demonizing the Serb people so that the stomachs of the Western public won't begin to have too much. There is something quite sickening in the way a humanitarian war is now being waged in a manner that depends upon the "enemy" being depicted as subhumans….

NATO stated that Albanian leaders were shot by Yugoslav forces! And yet they appeared couple of days later on television. Everybody saw that… Interesting turn-around, don't you think?
Pictures of refugees at Macedonia border were shown in two totally different environments. One picture was showing snow on the landscape, while the other was showing clear weather.

“. . . for many Serbs, NATO is simply one more in a 600 -year line of oppressors who would wrest from them a most sacred place. . . ” CNN WHY?
NATO leaflets warn Serb troops of 'certain death' April 26, 1999 From CNN National Security Producer Chris Plante WASHINGTON (CNN) -- NATO leaflets being dropped to Serb troops in Kosovo show a photograph of an Apache attack helicopter with the message: "DON'T WAIT FOR ME!. . . Remain in Kosovo and face certain death. " …. In the lower corner of the photo, there is a silhouette of a Serbian tank in the cross-hairs of a gunsight. …. "If you choose to stay, NATO forces will relentlessly attack you, with many different weapon systems, from many different nations, from the land, from the sea and from the sky. "
