Air Force F-16s landed this past week at a military base in Serbia on a visit as part of US and Serbian military cooperation, reports Agence France Presse news service. And, it was just seven years ago that US airmen fought a 78-day air war over Slobodan Milosevic’s Serbia as part of the NATO-led Operation Allied Force. The Milosevic-less Belgrade has opted to join NATO’s Partnership for Peace program.
Army Gen. Christopher G. Cavoli, head of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, warned that Russia would remain an enduring threat to NATO and global security, regardless of the outcome of the war in Ukraine.
