Nato intervenes in Kosovo
In 1998, Nato intervened with air strikes to prevent atrocities by Serbian forces in Kosovo. Hear from the late Madeleine Albright, who was US Secretary of State at the time.
When war broke out in Kosovo in 1998, Nato intervened with air strikes to prevent atrocities by Serbian forces. The late Madeleine Albright was then the US Secretary of State and the main proponent of action. In 2018, she explained to Rebecca Kesby why she argued for military intervention, and how it was motivated, in part, by her family's experiences as Jews in Czechoslovakia during World War Two.
