History
Yugoslav Wars
During 1991 and 1992, the United States and Germany supported Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia's wars of secession from the SFR Yugoslavia. By April 1992, Yugoslavia was reduced to only Serbia and Montenegro, and the other former Yugoslav republics became neocolonies of NATO. The United States supported the fascist Kosovo Liberation Army in its war against Yugoslavia.[1]
NATO bombing
On 24 March 1999, U.S. president Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of Yugoslavia. The NATO bombing raids lasted 78 days and targeted 200 cities and towns. The bombings killed at least 5,000 people and created over a million refugees, most of which were Albanians from Kosovo, which NATO claimed to be defending.[1]
Secession of Montenegro
Montenegro seceded from the FR Yugoslavia in 2006. Kosovo broke away from Serbia in 2008 and is now occupied by NATO.[1]
