One of them is Biljana Tanasijevic Vuksanovic from Valjevo, who developed cancer, and whose biopsy sample was found to contain depleted uranium.
In an interview for the morning program Otvori oči ("Open Your Eyes"), Tanasijevic Vuksanovic spoke about her personal struggle, as well as the broader issue of the consequences of the NATO bombing, which she claims continue to affect citizens.
"By profession, I am an educator. I work in a high school as a teacher. I was never on the battlefield. During the bombing, I stayed in the very center of the city the entire time", she began her story.
The interviewee of Newsmax Balkans underwent surgery a year ago. After the operation, she decided to take biopsy samples, which were sent for analysis to an Italian institute dealing with environmental protection and toxicology.
Minister of Defense Bratislav Gasic stated that the conditions have been created for the reintroduction of mandatory military service, which will last 75 days, and that the start of service will depend on global developments and circumstances, either beginning in December of this year or in March 2.

Major changes on Serbia’s political scene cannot occur so rapidly, and my message to the student and anti-government bloc is not to expect too much from the local elections on March 29, said public relations expert Predrag Vujovic in an interview for Newsmax Balkans.

AutorThe results surprised her, negatively.
"In my biopsy, all heavy metals were found. There were two heavy metals, aluminum and cadmium, which belong to the first group of chemical carcinogenic metals that influence the development of cancer in humans", explained Tanasijevic Vuksanovic. The second group of metals included zinc, nickel, cobalt, and the most alarming, depleted uranium.
That is why Biljana began her fight, together with lawyer Srdjan Aleksic, as she says she wants to raise awareness about a problem in Serbia that has existed for years.
"People are very skeptical. When I show them the findings, they first ask how I even got the idea to analyze all of this", the professor added.
However, as she emphasizes, she does not want to give up the fight for a better future.
"I continue to raise awareness because I want to encourage others to fight as well. Valjevo is, unfortunately, a place with many cancer patients", pointed out Tanasijevic Vuksanovic.

In Serbia, more than 1,500 people suffering from cancer have initiated legal proceedings against NATO over a direct connection between the use of depleted uranium and the increase in malignant diseases.
When asked whether she would use her documentation for these purposes and initiate legal action, the interviewee of Newsmax Balkans responded affirmatively.
"More needs to be said about this. Let it be a help for future generations so that we at least take better care of environmental pollution", concluded Tanasijevic Vuksanovic.
