Surdulica and NATO aggression
The year of 1999. was fatal for the small town of Surdulica. when the NATO aggression began, no one ever expected that a small place on the south of Serbia would suffer so much. Almost thirty people have been killed, among them were women and children. A residential block was razed to the ground and a part of Surdulica's sanitarium, where the refugees had been settled, was destroyed. Of all towns in Serbia, Surdulica had the highest percentage of civilians killed in the bombings.
Town was attacked three times, and the surrounding area of the town more than ten times. In second attack of NATO bombers on 27. April 1999. a residential block, not far away from the town center was hit. Nine people were killed then, three children and the whole Milic family.
Not even after this had Surdulica been spared. On 31. May 1999. target of NATO airforce was sanitarium-the hospital for lung diseases. Innocent civilians were again killed... More than fifteen people died, among them the whole Malobabic family.
The pictures of these horrors were seen everywhere in the world, as a reminder for the mankind to prevent them from happening again. Surdulica, the peaceful place under Vlasine, after suffering so much in two world wars, was not spared even in this war.
