A study on the consequences of the NATO bombardment of Serbia in 1999 has officially started, Serbian media reported.

An agreement between the four ministries: health, environmental protection, defence, and education and science, was signed and 15 million RSD have been allocated.

The study should prove whether the increase in percentage of patients suffering from malignant and autoimmune diseases is a direct consequence of the bombardment of Serbia in which depleted uranium ammunition was used.
