President Aleksandar Vucic said in Aleksinac on March 24 that Serbia had one card it its hands today to openly say what it thinks, Beta reported.

March 24 was day in 1999 when NATO started its bombing of Serbia, that lasted 78 days.

"Serbia that was not killed, and never will be and that is their greatest curse, and our mission, and our future," Vucic said at the central state ceremony to mark the 19th anniversary of the NATO bombing.

In anticipation of a national lab that will uncover the consequences of NATO's bombing, a Belgrade daily writs that similar research has been done before.

According to Vecernje Novosti, two large studies have been done to date - but "without any epilogue." Namely, as soon as alarming data emerged, everything was swept under the carpet, the daily said.

The proposal of the Initiative set up to discover the truth about the consequences of the NATO bombing of Serbia has been supported by the president.

The Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti writes that it learned this, and adds that according to the plan of the Initiative, a national laboratory should be set up to examine the consequences NATO's 1999 bombing of Serbia has had on humans and the environment.
