Discovering facts about the harmful effects of depleted uranium on the population of Serbia would start at the end of August or beginning of September in Vranje, BETA news agency reported. The news was announced by the chairperson of the Investigative Commission of NATO bombardment consequences, Darko Laketic. Laketic also said he believes the first preliminary report can be done by 2020, since documentation received from the Italian Parliamentary Commission (on the consequences of depleted uranium on Italian soldiers who were in Kosovo in 1999) is very useful. Laketic said the Commission would seek help from the EU in discovering the facts in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment and Italian Commission, BETA news agency reported.
