A lawyer for relatives of civilians killed in a NATO bombing raid on a bridge in Serbia during the 1999 Kosovo war has filed a lawsuit seeking damages from the German government, a spokeswoman for the justice authorities here said on Tuesday. The suit was filed on Dec. 24 by the Berlin-based lawyer Ulrich Dost, she said, confirming news reports. Ten people were killed and more than 30 injured, 17 of them seriously, when North Atlantic Treaty Organization jets attacked the bridge in the town of Varvarin, south of the Yugoslav capital, Belgrade, on May 30, 1999. Mr. Dost, who says Germany carries responsibility for the casualties as a NATO member, even though its planes were not involved, claims that the attack was a war crime, and that NATO commanders broke the Geneva Conventions by deliberately attacking civilians.The suit does not specify how much he is seeking for his clients, but in a letter to the German Defense Ministry last June, he reportedly demanded a total of DM2.58 million ($1.2 million) for his clients.
