BELGRADE — Today marks 14 years since the death on April 17, 1999, of three-year-old Milica Rakić, killed during a NATO air raid.
The child was fatally injured in the bathroom of her home, when a shrapnel from a cluster bomb hit her in the head.
The apartment building where her family lives is located some six kilometers from the military airport in the Belgrade suburb of Batajnica.
The traces of the damage done by the bomb are still visible on the facade around the bathroom window. The family decided not to repair the wall, as a reminder of the horrific crime.
The toddler’s death became the symbol of the suffering of the Serbian people during the war that NATO waged against the country in the spring of 1999.
This is a music video from Yugoslavia of a song, with English subtitles, about the death of Milica Rakić.
The EU has started accession negotiations with Serbia, using the membership talks as a form of blackmail to curb Russian influence: here.

Very true. And unfortunately, that did not stop after the 1999 Yugoslavia war.
