Ten years ago today NATO planes, led by the United States, began bombing Serbia. The air strikes were aimed at forcing Serb troops out of Kosovo, then a province of Serbia, where the majority wanted independence and were rebelling against Serbian rule under Slobodan Milosevic. Kosovo was eventually taken under the wing of the United Nations. Since then, in 2008, Kosovo declared independence and Milosevic was brought before the International Criminal Tribunal for war crimes, but died during the proceedings. Joining The Takeaway to look back at that NATO bombardment ten years ago, and the legacy it left behind, is Serbian journalist Ljiljana Smajlovic, the former editor of the Serbian daily newspaper Politika. She joins us from the BBC studio in the Serbian capital, Belgrade.

Here is some footage from NATO's attack on Serbia.
