Belgrade, March 23 (Tanjug) - Suffering of Yugoslav citizens from the NATO bombs must be never forgotten, because it is the prerequisite that something like that never happen again and to nobody, to learn a lesson for the future.

The NATO bombs which, beginning from March 24, in the evening, were falling three months throughout Yugoslavia did not spare anybody: a little girl in Batajnica got killed, three pupils in Murina, passengers in the train, refugees near Djakovica, patients in the health center in Belgrade…The balance was terrible: in the NATO attacks during 78 days at least one thousand civilians were killed, among who were large number of women and children, a lot more than policemen and soldiers.

A whole 78 days, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Pancevo and other cities in Yugoslavia were bombed under two-faced explanation. "The aim of the attack of the NATO are military and for army strategic important buildings", an official representative of the Alliance Jamey Shea was trying to explain day after day. Unfortunately, thousands of killed civilians are inexorable fact.

Passengers of the train on Belgrade-Thessalonica line were among first civilian victims, which had been hit in Grdelicka ravine. At that time, from 30 to 50 passengers were killed.

"This is the most precise war in the history of the civilization. But, mistakes cannot be excluded to the end. We call it collateral mistake", in that way former Commander of the NATO forces in Europe Wesley Clark explained, although behind his bombardiers in Grdelicka ravine several children's coffins were left over.

In April, the bridge on Lim in the town Murino was destroyed, where three children and adults were killed. In Aleksinac, the same month, the Health Center, a building of emergency squad, City public-health institute, 16 family houses, 400 flats, trade center, were completely destroyed. 15 people were killed and more than 50 were injured.

In the first half of April, on the road Djakovica-Prizren, the NATO planes bombed two columns of civilians, mostly ethnic Albanians, who were returning to their homes. At least 57 people were killed, and more than 100 civilians were injured. The NATO headquarters in Brussels confessed this crime only after 24 hours, excusing itself that it was pilot's mistake.

On the same month, the building of Serbian Radio and Television in the center of Belgrade was hit. 16 workers were killed. The Theater "Dusko Radovic", Children Cultural Center, Church of Saint Marko and Russian church were also damaged. Luckily, at that moment, there were neither children nor believers.

In Surdulica, in Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj Street, Belgrade and Drinska Divizija Street, all buildings were leveled to the ground. 20 civilians were killed, from who 11 children, 200 people were injured. About 200 projectiles fell on that town.

In early hours, in April, the NATO bombed and demolished Varadinski Bridge, which had connected Petrovaradin and Novi Sad, and damaged the bridge near Beska. Bombs were falling also nearby Pec Patriarchate.

The NATO had no mercy towards ill persons also. It justified itself saying that they are trying to stop the "humanitarian catastrophe". In May, Clinical Health Center "Dr. Dragisa Misovic" in Dedinje was also bombed, when three patients and a keeper were killed, and many others injured. One projectile guided with laser completely destroyed the building of Neurology Clinic, and all 24 objects were damaged, with maternity ward also.

In the attack on Nis, where cluster bombs had been used, 14 civilians were killed, and over 70 wounded. The Institute for Pathology of Clinical Center, market, bus station, were hit.

Those, and many other tragedies should not be forgotten, not for some kind of revenge, but so that some new Clark and the NATO generals would not made the same mistake.

Federal government, on the suggestion of Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica, proclaimed the March 24, a Remembrance Day in memory of killed people in the aggression on our country in 1999.

"As the state and nation, we are obliged to comprehend and remember evil which others done to us and that we have done to others, and it will not be repeated if it is etched on our memory", Kostunica stressed, explaining his proposal to proclaim March 24 a Remembrance Day in memory of killed people in the NATO aggression.
