NATO bombs killed 16 employees in Radio Television of Serbia 19 years ago: There is still no answer from the alliance to the question WHY?

 For the first time in history, the media house was declared a legitimate military goal, and because of that decision, on April 23, 1999, 16 people were killed. In memory of the victims, when NATO bombed the Radio Television of Serbia building, a two-hour commemoration took place in front of the "Why" monument in Tasmajdan park.

International Human Rights Organization The Human Rights Watch announced in 2000 that there was no excuse for television bombing.

NATO leaders claimed that the attack was justified, and the Hague tribunal's special commission, which also questioned the RTS bombing, did not suggest to the Prosecution to initiate criminal proceedings.

Former RTS director Dragoljub Milanovic was sentenced to 10 years in prison because he did not comply with the order of the then Federal Government and he did not transfer people and technology from buildings in Aberdareva and Hilandar Street.
