Serbia: Anti-NATO rally marks 19 years since Yugoslavia war

About 500 demonstrators gather in front of the Serbian Parliament in Belgrade to mark the anniversary of NATO's intervention in Yugoslavia.

About 500 demonstrators gathered in front of the Serbian Parliament in Belgrade Saturday to commemorate the 19th anniversary of NATO's intervention in Yugoslavia.

The protesters waved flags and lit flares, while others held banners with messages against NATO written on them.

The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was a military operation against the Serbian people and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) during the Kosovo War. It was the first time that the organization used military force without the approval of the UN Security Council. The airstrikes lasted from March 24 to June 10, 1999.
