Lawyer Srdjan Aleksic, one of the initiators of a lawsuit against NATO, would travel to Moscow on 19 October to attend the Assembly of the Russian International Lawyers Association, Sputnik reports today.

Aleksic said he has already received support from the Russian and Chinese colleagues to prepare a lawsuit against NATO, but also from the lawyers from some EU countries so the international team is slowly being prepared. Taking into account percentage of those who have suffered from malign diseases in Serbia, as a consequence of the NATO bombardment, Aleksic earlier announced filing a lawsuit against 19 countries who took part in the bombardment of Serbia. He as a head of the legal team has the deadline of two years to file a lawsuit against those who used depleted uranium in the bombardment of Serbia, based on collected medical researches and indicators. Around 150 experts and scientists and 100 persons from the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts, supported this initiative in February 2017. Reaction from the Serbian state on the issue, came some time ago, when the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic supported a proposal to form a coordination body and a national laboratory to examine the consequences of the bombardment, Sputnik further reports. Aleksic, welcomed this move, saying that the participation of the state with all its resources could only strengthen this initiative. Aleksic announced that by the end of the year he would travel to India to obtain support from there. There are already lawyers from Turkey, Germany, France and Italy supporting him, among them lawyers who had represented Italian soldiers, who won the cases against the state of Italy, as they became ill while serving in Kosovo. He also said on 15 October, he would travel to Berlin to meet with the lawyers from the famous German Lawyers Association who strongly oppose the use of depleted uranium. He also highlighted that an ecological disaster occurred in Serbia due to the use of depleted uranium and bombardment, while the lawsuits for the ecological disaster do not become obsolete, Sputnik reported.
