The Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS), the Professional Union of Radio and Television of Serbia and the Union of Journalists of Serbia (SINOS) announced on the occasion of the 24th anniversary of the death of 16 media workers in the NATO bombing of RTS in 1999, that no one from NATO structures was responsible for that crime .

The UNS refers to the report of the Amnesty International organization, which states that "NATO hit the target it aimed at", and that at least 120 civilians were working in the building at the time of the attack.

"UNS, the Professional Union of the RTS and SINOS say that it is high time that the perpetrators and perpetrators are held accountable for this war crime," the statement concludes.

The RTS building in Takovska Street in Belgrade was hit by a bomb on the night of April 23, 1999.

In the public, accusations were made against the then government led by the President of Serbia and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) Slobodan Milošević, that RTS workers were sacrificed even though it was known that RTS would be a NATO target, and that some of the employees were taken out of the building before the bombing, but these claims have never been proven.
