As they insulted him with harsh words, the "protesters" filmed Ambassador Hill for 10 minutes, highlighting his role in 1999 when Serbia was bombed.
Hill was one of the American negotiators who had tried to find a peaceful solution for Kosovo and Serbia. However, Milosevic had rejected all offers, leading to the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Hill began his role as the U.S. Ambassador to Belgrade in March of the previous year. It seems that his reputation among Serbs is still associated with that of a "bomber" of Serbia.
