(16 Aug 2016) US Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday offered condolences to the families of those who lost their lives during the Balkan wars, including the victims of the NATO air war against Serbia.
Biden spoke after his meeting with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade.
As a senator, Biden was a strong advocate of the NATO bombing of Serbia in the 1990s.
He once said that his work to end the Yugoslav wars was one of the "proudest moments" of his long political career.
The US-led bombardment in 1999 stopped Serbia's crackdown against ethnic Albanian separatists, ending Belgrade's rule over its former province of Kosovo.
The alliance's intervention, when thousands were killed, shifted many Serbs from their generally pro-Western views, toward their traditional Slavic ally Russia.
After their talks, Biden and Vucic went for a walk in downtown Belgrade, where they watched street performers and bought souvenirs.
Biden is scheduled to be in Serbia and Kosovo this week for his final visit as US vice president to the Balkans
