The American diplomat recalled during his testimony to the Special Court in The Hague that they had convinced Europeans that the Rambouillet Agreement and then shelling were the most appropriate “movement”.
Some people thought it was not the right move, but Secretary Albright thought it was the right move and President Clinton thought the same thing. We convinced Europeans that this was the right move, and we told them, of course, we would take a dramatic move, but at the same time we will be diplomats”, he said.
Rubin showed what US warnings were about Albanians and Serbs in case they did not sign the agreement.
We told both sides: this is the agreement and in the case of Serbian forces, we told them, if you do not accept the agreement, you will be attacked by air. And we told the Albanian side: reconcile with this agreement, or you will no longer have our support”. /Periscopi
