NATO’s Intervention in Yugoslavia in 1999. On the Twentieth Anniversary of the Attack – Causes and Consequences

Summary/Abstract: The main aim is to present the historical and political conditions of NATO’s attack on Yugoslavia and to show the consequences of this operation, the main effect of which was the creation of the so-called the independent state of Kosovo, which is essentially an unstable controversial territory, constituting the basis for the development of organized crime and other asymmetrical threats. The air operation codenamed „Allied Force” began a new chapter in the history of the Alliance, which for the first time undertook military action without the mandate of the UN Security Council, thus creating a dangerous precedent for the future. The Serbs were forced to leave Kosovo under the supervision of the UN as a result of this operation. However, it is hard to talk about the defeat of the Serbs, because the army was not defeated, and the soldiers did not give up and could fight further. Their involvement could, however, lead to the total economic extermination of the country by the coalition of NATO states, which proved that it has no scruples in destroying civilian (also economic) purposes. The author emphasizes that the developed structures of organized crime and corruption of the so-called Kosovo states do not give hope for positive forecasting in the development of its statehood.
