"The words of the President of the Czech Republic will be included in the history books": Vucic commented on Zeman's public apology for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia
The press service of the President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman confirms the information on the topic of NATO bombing, which was raised during a meeting with his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic. Zeman's spokesman notes that the Czech president, in the presence of President Vucic, made words of public apology for the fact that the North Atlantic military bloc in 1999 bombed Belgrade and other cities in the country that was then called Yugoslavia. Let us recall that the bombings were carried out from March to June 1999 and were motivated by Washington, London and Brussels, allegedly by the commission of "the Serbian regime and military personnel of war crimes in the province of Kosovo."
Zeman during Vucic's visit to the Czech Republic:
According to Zeman, he greatly appreciates Vucic's visit to Prague and recalls his visit to Belgrade.
Zeman:
An important nuance in this situation is that the Czech Republic was admitted to NATO on March 12 - less than two weeks before the start of NATO attacks on Belgrade. However, Milos Zeman, despite the fact that the role of the Czech Republic in those events was still not the largest, found the courage (unlike most other leaders of the countries of the Western military bloc) to admit guilt and publicly apologize.
Alexander Vucic, in response to the words of Milos Zeman, thanked him, noting that from now on the Serbian people will consider the people of the Czech Republic truly fraternal.
Serbian President commenting on Zeman's statements:
Vucic added that before the meeting with Zeman, he did not know anything about the intentions of the President of the Czech Republic to apologize to the Serbs for the decisions taken by NATO countries.
