Serb strategy drawn on Tito partisan war experience is to draw enemy into occupation, and inflict unsustainable causalties. They would give-up Belgrade..come and hold it.... I can't imagine any circumstance in which NATO would attempt an extended occupation of Serbia. Kosovo, at the very most. Why on earth would they want to occupy Belgrade? To arrest Milosevic? He would be long gone before they got there. The only conceivable goal for a NATO ground action - which looks improbable in any event - would be to seize Kosovo, resettle refugees, and withdraw, leaving a UN peacekeeping force. Milosevic could not defend Kosovo without major military assets. Trying to defend it by guerilla tactics would force him to fight a guerilla war against an occupying force and a hostile population, which would not be supportable.
