On this day: From the first extraordinary, wartime edition of "Vremena"
27 years ago today, NATO began bombing Serbia and Montenegro. The muffled explosions, the screeching of anti-aircraft defenses, the hissing of cruise missiles, the wailing of warning sirens, the state of emergency, collateral damage, civilian casualties, the suppression of the media, the Kumanovo defeat, the withdrawal of the army and police from Kosovo were deeply etched in the Serbian collective memory and to this day cause anti-Western feelings in many citizens. We publish what the "Vremena" reporter team recorded during the first days of the bombing in the special edition of March 27, 1999.
