In January 1999 , Kosovo Verification Mission leader William Walker accused Serb forces of responsibility for the Račak massacre , an accusation that was ultimately a leading factor in NATO 's decision to bomb Yugoslavia later in the year . Bojić responded that Walker 's statement was aimed at provoking a military intervention against Serbs . In the same period , he rejected suggestions for an international conference on Kosovo and urged western powers to force Albanian delegates to form a united negotiating team " so we can finally sit down at a table like human beings and arrange to bring this sad drama to an end . " Bojić delivered several public speeches condemning the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia , which lasted from 24 March – 10 June 1999 . In one speech , at Lebane in southern Serbia , he asserted that Serbs had become more resolute in their desire to maintain Kosovo as an integral part of Serbia and called on Montenegrins to follow " the holy duty of defending the fatherland . " He also stated , " We are also here today , at this magnificent rally , to send out a message to the new Adolf Hitler : death to fascists , death to invaders and Serbia will never surrender ! " Bojić later joined other government officials to take part in human shield tactics to prevent NATO from bombing Belgrade 's bridges . After a NATO bomb struck a hospital in Niš , Bojić described the attack as deliberate and charged NATO with genocidal aggression
