More than 30,000 sorties have been flown as part of NATO's air campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's (FRY) military forces. Over one third of the Yugoslav Air Force's frontline combat aircraft and 75% of fixed surface to air missile sites have now been destroyed, along with over one third of Serb heavy forces on the ground in Kosovo. Serb forces remaining in Kosovo are suffering great difficulty in moving around, and are becoming increasingly isolated.
The Alliance continues to concentrate its attacks on military and related assets and infrastructure and to make extreme efforts to avoid any civilian casualties and collateral damage. It deeply regrets all civilian casualties.
Guidelines have been drawn up for humanitarian agencies wishing to operate in FRY, to help them minimise the risk if they enter the country during the air campaign. A system for notifying their movements through the UNHCR in Geneva has also been established.
NATO troops continue to provide support to the humanitarian effort led by the UNHCR in Albania and the former Yugoslav Republic of Yugoslavia (FYROM) (1). In both countries, NATO is building extra refugee camps, as well as improving the infrastructure to help with the efficient distribution of humanitarian aid. In Albania, transport is being provided for refugees who wish to move from the overcrowded camps in the North, which remain within the range of Serb artillery, to new camps which NATO has helped build in the South.
The Alliance notes that President Slobodan Milosevic has become the first sitting Head of State and Government in history to be indicted for wholesale war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murders and forced deportations.
NATO is now pursuing an end to the Kosovo Crisis on four fronts:
- The air campaign continues to intensify, with increasing success;
- NATO is supporting the vigorous diplomatic efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, while also working closely with neighbouring nations to ensure that the crisis does not spread;
- Substantial assistance continues to be given to the humanitarian efforts in the region. The Alliance's vital support has been welcomed by the UNHCR;
- In conjunction with other organisations, NATO is participating in the development of a long-term strategy for South East Europe, to try and ensure lasting stability for the region.
