Kosovo delcared it’s independence today, stating that from now it is is going to be it’s own self-governing nation and has asked for official UN recognition. Go, underdog, go.
Some people may remember Kosovo from the Clinton years. It was the tiny, backwater country in which NATO and the US led bombing campaigns against. Ironically, a particular salvo of bombs which would go down in history as the single most numerous amount of bombs dropped by US planes occured on April 20th, 1999.
You figure it out.
While the intent of the bombings was to clear Milosevic out of the country, it turned the Kosovar landscape into a veritable wasteland. It didn’t help that we used depleted uranium on our bombs. Some favor we did them. Luckily, NATO officially apologized for the bombings and the damage it did to the Kosovars and their home.
The country is offically seeking recognition from the United Nations. Serbia is not so happy.
