The Chinese embassy to Serbia held a memorial ceremony in Belgrade on Tuesday to honor the three Chinese journalists killed during a bombing attack by NATO forces at the site of the Chinese embassy to the former Yugoslavia in 1999.

About 100 people including the Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Chen Bo, the Serbian Minister of Labor, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Zoran Djordjevic, one of the assistant mayors of Belgrade and the chairman of the Serbian Journalists' Association were all in attendance at the ceremony held in front of the ruins of the old Chinese embassy in Belgrade.

Attendees laid wreaths at the monument and gathered to pay their respects to the martyrs.

On May 7, 1999, U.S.-led NATO forces carried out a missile attack in Belgrade which struck the Chinese embassy, leaving three journalists dead, more than 20 people injured, and causing severe damage to the embassy building.

The three victims of the deadly bombing were journalists Shao Yunhuan of the Xinhua News Agency, and Xu Xinghu and his wife Zhu Ying of the Guangming Daily newspaper.
