Extracted from Wikipedia --
The Rambouillet Conference was an international diplomatic conference held between 6 February and 22 March 1999 at the Château de Rambouillet, France, in an attempt to resolve the Kosovo Crisis. The talks resulted in the drafting of a proposed Interim Agreement for Peace and Self-Government in Kosovo (Rambouillet Agreement), between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia on the one hand and the delegation of political representatives of the ethnic Albanian majority population of Kosovo on the other. Among other things, the proposed agreement called for substantial autonomy for Kosovo; the deployment of up to 30,000 NATO peacekeeping troops in Kosovo; an unhindered right of passage for NATO troops on Yugoslav territory; and immunity for NATO and its agents to Yugoslav law. The Kosovo Albanian side signed the agreement on 18 March 1999, however the refusal of the Yugoslav and Serbian side to sign the accords led to the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia.
