Jamie Shea
“The pilot dropped the bomb in good faith, as you would expect of a trained pilot from a democratic NATO country to do”.
Jamie Shea, about the NATO bombing against a Kosovo refugees’ convoy, April 15.
Klaus Naumann
“We will see how they will feel after a few more weeks and months of continuously pounding them into pieces”.
Gen. Klaus Naumann, NATO’s senior military officer
Robin Cook
“The responsibility for that tragedy rests with the Serb forces who rounded up those refugees from the hillside, forced them back to Korisa and in particular forced those 100 refugees not to return to their homes but to settle, squeezed together, in those two compounds”.
British foreign minister Robin Cook justifying the Korisa bombing.
Harold Pinter
„I think that NATO is itself a war criminal”.
Harold Pinter
“We are not romantic people! We are the Sega generation”.
NATO pilot replying to CNN reporter’s question whether he had any qualms about killing innocent civilians.
Vesna Pešić
“By rejecting NATO, Serbia is risking (hypotetically) to have any neighbouring country enter into its territory and thus get in confronation with the full NATO alliance”.
Vesna Pešić, MP of pro-NATO Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP).
Vojislav Koštunica
“Now it is more than obvious that the cruel destruction of Serbia during the NATO bombardment had only one aim: to turn the province of Kosovo into the world’s first NATO state”.
Vojislav Koštunica, former president of Yugoslavia and former Serbian Prime Minister, now leader of the opposition Democratic party of Serbia (DSS).
Svetozar Stojanović
“Often, Nato does not know what to do with itself, as evident from the fact that it sought to expand its role by mounting a “humanitarian” attack on Serbia and Montenegro. As a country that puts such high value on its independence and dignity, Serbia should contribute to the creation of post-cold war security arrangements by restricting itself to bilateral military co-operation with the United States, Russia, the EU countries, China, India, and so on”.
Svetozar Stojanović, Serbian philosopher
Matija Bećković
“I will vote for NATO when I get younger”.
Matija Becković, one of Serbia’s most famous poets
Neven Cvjetićanin
“I think it is a tragic comedy to believe that it is enough to get into NATO in order to get our stomachs fuller and our wallets thicker”.
Neven Cvjetićanin, researcher at the Institute of Social Sciences in Belgrade, E novine, 3. 9. 2009
