On Wednesday, Serbia pays tribute to victims of the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia in 1999, when more than 2,500 civilians died and about 200,000 more were displaced as the result of the alliance’s air strikes. The bombing became NATO’s largest-ever military operation on the territory of Serbia and Montenegro since the end of World War Two, experts say, pointing to the fact that the bombing was staged without being okayed by the US Security Council. Commemoration events are due to be held all across Serbia, including the capital Belgrade, later in the day, with the Serbian Orthodox Patriarch Irinej set to lead memorial service at the Belgrade St.Marcus Cathedral.
