Best Answer

The premise of the question is incorrect in its specifics. There was no United Nations force that was involved in the Kosovo War; there was a NATO force that was in operation during that conflict.

The NATO force intervened primarily to prevent a Serbian Genocide of Albanian Kosovars. As a result, the bombing runs targeted key aspects of Serbian infrastructure and military vehicles in order to weaken that state's ability to wage war against its Albanian minority.

What two states were once part of Yugoslavia?

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was actually composed of Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Montenegro, with Serbia having two lower-level administrative divisions in Vojvodina and Kosovo. After the breakup of Yugoslavia in the mid-90's, each of these entities declared their own sovereignty except for what was then-known as Yugoslavia which was composed of Serbia and Montenegro. After the Monenegran War, Montenegro was granted independence under UN sanction and Yugoslavia was renamed Serbia. In 2008, Kosovo declared their independence from Serbia amidst much international controversy that (some have said) indirectly led to the war in South Ossetia in August, 2008 that later led to the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Currently, all the states that were once part of Yugoslavia are: Bosnia-Hercegovina Croatia Slovenia Serbia Montenegro Kosovo Macedonia
