Serbian Parliament Speaker Maja Gojkovic said on Friday she has submitted to the Assembly a proposal for forming a commission tasked to investigate the environmental and health consequences of the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia, TV N1 reported. The proposal said, it was necessary to especially assess the effects of the depleted uranium ingredient allegedly used in some bombs NATO was dropping from March 24 to June 10, 1999. “The main task of this commission would be to establish the link between the bombing and a large number of heavy diseases found among the population… a significant increase in malignant illness,” Gojkovic told reporters in the Parliament. She added that there was no politics in her suggestion, but that it was “in the interest of all citizens,” "There is no accusation either, we only want to know the truth,” Gojkovic said. The commission, made up of experts and scientists “and everyone who might help,” has a deadline by the end of 2020 for a full preliminary report. It will be obliged to report to the Parliament every six months. The Parliament would then discuss the proposal under an urgent procedure.
