The Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Skopje responded to yesterday\u2019s statement by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia, Arben Fetai, regarding the 26th anniversary of NATO\u2019s armed attack on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Fetai described the intervention as a “historic moment” that paved the “path to peace and stability in the region” and the “prevention of genocide.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Embassy of Serbia in Skopje expressed deep concern over such statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Statements of this nature deeply affect the sentiments of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia, for whom March 24 symbolizes immense suffering and the beginning of one of the most tragic periods in the recent history of our country and our people. During the 78 days of continuous bombing, approximately 2,500 civilians lost their lives, including dozens of children, while more than 6,000 people were injured. Throughout the aggression, bridges, hospitals, schools, factories, and cultural landmarks were destroyed, and many families lost their loved ones, their homes, and their sense of security. The memories of these events and the suffering of the population are deeply embedded in our collective consciousness, and the pain and consequences of that period remain alive to this day. That is precisely why any attempt to relativize or positively interpret these events is seen as a painful and inappropriate humiliation of the victims and their families,” the Embassy\u2019s statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Embassy reminded that “NATO\u2019s military intervention in March 1999 was conducted without a United Nations Security Council resolution, making it a flagrant violation of international public law and the principles on which the international legal order is based.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Therefore, we believe that a narrative about this event, devoid of the necessary legal and moral sensitivity, does not contribute to building mutual respect in interstate relations. In light of this, the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in Skopje expresses hope that in the future, the complexity of such topics will be taken into account in public discourse. More importantly, we expect consistency in respecting international legal principles, rather than their selective application and interpretation,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
