Wasn't Serbia doing bad things, though? I'm not super educated on this part of history.
It was, Serbia was committing war crimes. You can probably guess how much NATO cared about the war crimes, and how much NATO was simply trying to position itself to expand its hegemony and use the issue as a wedge in the Balkans that would reinforce the smaller countries' need for itself.
Ah, makes sense.
It was a shitshow after the fall of Communism generally and the breakup of Yugoslavia specifically, but getting NATO involved was itself controversial.
