On the date of June 12th 1998, the North-Atlantic Council, gathered on the level of theministers of defense, required the evaluation of the possible additional measures which NATO
could take under the conditions of aggravation of the crisis from Kosovo. Consequently, on
the date of October 13th 1998, pursuant to the aggravation of the situation, the North-Atlantic
Council authorized orders of activation for the air attacks. This measure is meant to support
the diplomatic efforts in order to determine the regime of MiloÅŸevici to withdraw the forces
from Kosovo, to cooperate for the end of violence and to facilitate the return of refugees to
their homes. However, in the last moment, pursuant to other diplomatic initiatives of the
officials of NATO and United States, the president MiloÅŸevici accepted to collaborate, and the
air attacks were cancelled
