NATO airstrikes in 1999 significantly damaged Yugoslavia's transport infrastructure, blocking river traffic on the Danube by destroying bridges, compromising over 70% of roads and 50% of rail lines crossing the Danube, completely compromising rail capacity to Montenegro while degrading road throughput, and rendering over 100% of rail lines and 50% of roads impassable into Kosovo.
