Скачать или смотреть Kosovo War Day by Day (PART 3) | Frontline Footage Captures Yugoslav Conflict Up Close (1999)

In March 1999, NATO launched an aerial bombing
campaign against Yugoslavia with the stated aim
of stopping the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo’s
Albanian population. The intervention followed years of rising ethnic
tensions and violence in Kosovo, where Yugoslav
forces had escalated their repression and displacement
of the country’s ethnic Albanians in their fight
against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).

In response to NATO’s intervention, Yugoslav forces
intensified their violent displacement of Kosovar
Albanians, driving hundreds of thousands of refugees
into neighbouring Macedonia and Albania. As NATO stepped up its air campaign, more than 500
civilians were killed by NATO bombs – including
hundreds of refugees inside Kosovo. Amid the rising human cost of the conflict,
pressure grew on the alliance to send
ground forces into Kosovo. Using archival news footage to document the conflict
day by day, this video is the third in a series covering
the Kosovo War of 1998–99, from its outbreak in March
1998 to the arrival of NATO peacekeepers
in June 1999.
