Armed intervention is the last resort that needs to be addressed, but in the case of Yugoslavia, the military operation of the North Atlantic Alliance, which turned into bombing, was the “right decision”, told German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas in an interview with Stuttgarter Nachrichten.
“I am convinced, as before, that Germany’s participation [in Operation Allied Force] was a demonstration of a responsible approach,” the Foreign Minister assures, noting that military intervention is “an extreme measure.”
“In my opinion, NATO intervention was the right decision. It is hard for me to even imagine what could have happened there if it had not been there,” he stressed.
