Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci says that the air strikes on Yugoslavia 10 years ago were “a great historic event for Kosovo.” Thaci thanked the countries that had backed Kosovo on its path to independence. Thaci: NATO bombing "historic event" “The successful culmination of the NATO campaign opened a new chapter in Kosovo’s recent history. A chapter of liberty and the construction of real democracy,” he said in a statement to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the start of the NATO air strikes on Yugoslavia, which claimed the lives of around 2,500 civilians, including 88 children. The prime minister said that the Kosovo people would always be grateful to the West, the U.S., the EU and other NATO member states “for their support of the just battle for Kosovo’s liberty and independence.” “Today, these countries continue to contribute to the construction of security in Kosovo as part of the KFOR military mission,” he said. Thaci added that “Kosovo has entered its second year of independence in political unity, security, peace and inter-ethnic tolerance, having good relations with its neighbors and seriously engaged in meeting all the criteria for membership in all Euro-Atlantic mechanisms and becoming a part of all international structures.”
