The primary goal of this research is to challenge existing narratives about the Kosovo War and NATO intervention by examining new USA and Yugoslav declassified state sources, particularly focusing on two main factors behind NATO’s involvement: humanitarian justifications and geopolitical objectives. The preliminary examination has enabled the discovery of counterintuitive information that poses a challenge to prevailing interpretations.
