This is not a accurate review of the invasion and bombing of Yugoslavia.
Please reflect. The sources are unrepresentative of the situation as they are unverified and unestablished, they only reflect the US-interest groups false and unverified accusations. Maybe when the world starts to challenge the big lies the world will be a better place. 109.245.32.217 (talk) 12:25, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Is there a specific change you want made, backed up by sources with a reputation for accuracy? Pincrete (talk) 13:56, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Personally I feel the bias in the fact that the article only cites Yugoslav atrocities during the Kosovo war. I would like to add information about what the Albanian side did in Kosovo war, because they have also been accused of carrying out ethnic cleansings. Unfortunately, I have no time right now... --Esmu Igors (talk) 09:36, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Esmu Igors, this article is about the bombing campaign, why would it include anything about KLA crimes? Pincrete (talk) 10:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Pincrete, the reason is that NATO justified the bombing campaign citing Serbian/Yugoslav atrocities during the war, therefore it got involved in the Kosovo war on one particular side, citing only crimes of the opposite side. In its current form, the article gives the reader an impression that this was obviously justified. For example, the third paragraph of the Preamble. We could at least include the counter-arguments by the Yugoslav government, or citations of some political analysts. Esmu Igors (talk) 10:56, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- There is an entire article about the legality of the intervention, there are innumerable articles covering the war and specific justifications for the deeds of either side.Pincrete (talk) 09:09, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Yugoslavia in 1999?
This is false, Yugoslavia didn’t exist after 1990s 51.37.190.122 (talk) 20:25, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which often is referred to "Yugoslavia" and which claimed the name Yugoslavia "was founded on 27 April 1992 as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia … and … ended in 2003". The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ceased to exist/broke up in 1992. Pincrete (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
Review needed
This is not a correct summary of what happened in 1999 in Yugoslavia! 87.116.165.209 (talk) 23:00, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Change the number of civilian casualties to at least 2,500 being killed and 12,500 injured. Here is a source for this: https://balkaninsight.com/2019/03/22/78-days-of-fear-remembering-natos-bombing-of-yugoslavia/ 2001:8003:C12E:D601:C53C:16CA:ED21:2053 (talk) 00:23, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- That source actually says During the NATO military campaign, the Serbian government estimates that at least 2,500 people died and 12,500 were injured, but the exact death toll remains unclear. Even as a Govt estimate, better and more recent and better framed estimates are in the HRW cite we use. So no, I would not endorse these figures going into the article.
