During his official visit to Belgrade this week, United States Vice President Joe Biden offered his condolences to Serbian families who lost loved ones in the NATO bombing campaign of 1999. Mr. Biden was a vocal supporter of the campaign at the time; he is the first American official to offer condolences to the people of Serbia.
“The memories of the loss of the loved ones are still fresh,” Biden told reporters after his talks with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic.
“I would like to add my condolences to the families of those whose lives were lost during the wars in the 1990s, including those whose lives were lost as the result of the NATO campaign,” he said.
