In February 1999, while meeting with US officials in Rambouillet, [[French Republic|France]], Yugoslavia proposed a peace agreement for [[Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija|Kosovo]]. The proposal included human rights for all citizens, promotion of cultural and linguistic diversity for all nationalities, freedom of media, the return of all displaced citizens to their homes, and a proportional legislature with extra seats for various nationalities. The US rejected this proposal and instead created a plan with complete autonomy for Kosovo and its occupation by NATO troops. The US plan required Yugoslavia to continue giving aid to Kosovo and did not guarantee assistance for Serbian refugees or an end to [[Economic sanctions|sanctions]].<ref name=":022">{{Citation|author=[[Michael Parenti]]|year=2000|title=To Kill a Nation|chapter=The Rambouillet Ambush|page=108–114|pdf=https://leftychan.net/edu/src/1614706295182-3.pdf|publisher=Verso}}</ref> | In February 1999, while meeting with US officials in Rambouillet, [[French Republic|France]], Yugoslavia proposed a peace agreement for [[Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija|Kosovo]].
