The Chinese television team visited several checkpoints in Vranje and the surrounding area that were bombed with depleted uranium ammunition during 1999 and talked with the witnesses of this criminal act.

President of the association of "War Veterans of Serbia Vranje", Dragoljub Stosic, was among the interlocutors of journalist Jang Jing.

- My goal as president of the association is to help the citizens of Vranje and Serbia to get out the truth and suffering to the eyes and ears of the greatest nation in the world. Also, we introduced them with the charges against the NATO leaders for numerous occurrences of malignant diseases as a result of the bombing in 1999. Lawyer Srdjan Aleksic from Nis also spoke about this, member of the legal-expert team working on the lawsuit - Stosic said.

Although there has been a constant discussion in world public whether the depleted uranium causes malignant diseases,  "War Veterans of Serbia" are referring to judicial processes where they refer to the process where a great amount of compensation was paid to the Italian soldiers from KFOR.

According to Stosic, 47 of them died after staying in Kosovo in places that were also bombed with depleted uranium.

- Our association already has dozens of patients with malignant diseases, and two former combatants, 40 and 47 years old, died this year only. 500-600 new cancer cases are registered every year in the Pcinj district. Lung cancer is most common, skin, blood-lymphatic system, digestive organs. The consequences of the use of such ammunition are unimaginable, and especially the fact that the state has not provided funds for regular monitoring and testing of the health of populations at risk, as well as monitoring of groundwater, the endangered plant, and animal life, says Dragoljub Stosic.

During the NATO bombing, a large number of depleted uranium missiles were fired on a television repeater on the hill of Plajkovica, only 1,000 meters away from Vranje. Villages of Bratoselce, Svinjishte, Borovac, and Reljan in the Presevo municipality were also bombed with hundreds of projectiles, where seven soldiers of the then Yugoslav Army were killed.

It is not yet known how many depleted uranium missiles were thrown into the territory of Serbia. NATO data indicate that 31,000 were fired, while the Army of Serbia reports that there were about 50,000 missiles. Four locations were located in Southeast Serbia, one in Montenegro and 107 in Kosovo.
