Yugoslavia and NATO Sign Treaty Ending Kosovo War
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
The pact ended both NATO intervention and the civil war between the Serbian-dominated Yugoslavian Army and ethnic Albanians who were fighting to create an independent sovereign nation. The war resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands, with more than 800,000 refugees fleeing Kosovo. The peace treaty eventually toppled the regime of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic who would be tried for war crimes for his policy of "ethnic cleansing" in the Balkans.
