Slobodan Milosevic's offer to Madlin Albright was for the former Yugoslavia to become a member of NATO. So said Momir Bulatovic, former president of Yugoslavia's federal government during the 1999 NATO bombing, writes B92, I follow Periscope.
Bulatovic says this offer was rejected by the West. When this offer was rejected, he says, there was the second offer at the table.
The second option was to establish a base, show that they need a base, and give them a symbolic location, and we received a response only: Thank you. They did not need the stability of a state because what they would do next with Afghanistan, Syria, Libya or any other country”, he says.
Finally, Bulatovic says they agreed that it was better to be part of NATO to avoid shelling.
“They laughed at us, said it was a very interesting idea, but it couldn't be realized”, Bulatovic said, adding that later the bombings followed, and the former Yugoslavia became a trumpet. /Periscopi/
