Serbians and Chinese officials gathered at the site of the bombed former Chinese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on Wednesday in Belgrade to mark the 26th anniversary of the killing of three Chinese journalists in the 1999 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) aggression on Yugoslavia. Serbian government officials and friendly individuals, along with Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Li Ming and all embassy staff, representatives of Chinese-funded enterprises in Serbia, resident media representatives, and Chinese expatriates, participated in the memorial. The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia started on March 24, 1999. Over the course of 78 days, 2,500 people were killed and thousands of people were wounded, while 25,000 homes and a third of the country's energy sector were destroyed - often by illegal weapons such as cluster bombs and depleted uranium warheads. On May 7, 1999, U.S.-led NATO forces carried out a brutal missile attack on the former Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, which left three journalists working there dead, more than 20 people injured, and the embassy building severely damaged.
