"It was Jacques Chirac and Schroeder both, who pushed us into a conflict to remove Milosevic"

This quote by Curt Weldon is describing the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. Jacques Chirac was the President of France at the time and Gerhard Schroeder was the Chancellor of Germany. The 2 leaders contributed in pushing for the NATO intervention in Yugoslavia to get rid of Slobodan Milosevic from power. The NATO bombing campaign was questionable, as it was seen by some as a prohibited intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. However, the intervention was seen by many as necessary to prevent more human rights abuses by Milosevic's routine. The NATO battle campaign succeeded in removing Milosevic from power and ending the conflict in Yugoslavia.
