Kosovar Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has fired the country’s deputy justice minister, an ethnic Serb, after she called NATO’s 1999 bombing campaign of then-Yugoslavia a “planned genocide.”

Haradinaj dismissed Vesna Mikic on March 25, saying in a statement that there is “no place” in his government and other institutions in Kosovo for individuals to “denigrate our common euro-Atlantic values.”

The Western military alliance committed “a deliberately planned genocide against a sovereign country that fought Albanian terrorism inside its own borders,” Mikic wrote in a Facebook post on March 24, which marked the 20th anniversary of NATO’s 78-day air campaign.
