The former NATO senior commander Wesley Clark, who led the NATO bombing campaign against Serbian forces in 1999, in a statement on VOA in Serbian, revealed of how during a conversation with the president of the Macedonia of the time, Kiro Gligorov, the latter said to him that "Albanians are not like Bosniaks..." and that "They can not stand, they will fight."
"Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov called me and said, 'You know, you will have a big problem in Kosovo. There will be war, because Albanians are not like Bosniaks: they cannot endure. They will fight '. And this is exactly what happened, the fighting started," Clark says in this conversation via Skype to KTV.Further, he shows how the Ambassador Richard Holbrooke went in June 1999 in a meeting with Slobodan Milosevic. "He connected me with Milosevic, whom I knew from Dayton and I said to him: Please do not do this to the Albanian people'. On the other hand, he told me: General Clark, these are my people. I will not hurt them. Of course, this was a lie, because ethnic cleansing was already happening." Clark said.
