Milosav Maksimovic, based on an interview in Belgrade, 4 October 2007
When it was bombed in 1999, I had been director of the Kopaonik National Park for 10 years. I am quite attached to that beautiful area, as I was born there and grew up there. It was so difficult to accept that the place was being bombed. While the bombing was happening, all of us National Park workers still had to perform our normal daily work and were required to be present at all times. Other than us, all of the other local agencies and companies had already left at the time of the bombing.
