NATO bombing of RTS
From Free net encyclopedia
During the Kosovo War, NATO destroyed the headquarters of Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) network in Belgrade. This deliberate aerial assault was one of the most controversial of the entire bombing campaign. Sixteen people died in the attack and many were trapped for days, only communicating over mobile phones. The television station went to air 24 hours later from a secret location.
The bombing started controversy in Serbia, as it turned out that employees were not properly evacuated and that more than the minimum necessary people staffed the building at that time.
A new building has been built next to the bombed station while a monument was erected to all of those who have died in the attack.
