The environmental consequences of NATO bombings in Yugoslavia Today on
Earth Matters we're joined on the phone by Radoje Lausevic - Secretary of
the Serbian Ecological Society in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Radoje speaks about
the very serious environmental problems facing his region as a result of
NATO attacks.
Radoje begins our discussion by outlining what the Serbian Ecological
Society does and also by describing the natural elements of the region. We
learn that Yugoslavia is recognised internationally as being a region of
high biodiversity and and is home to one of Europe's largest rivers, the
Danube.
A range of environmental concerns are addressed, including the acute air
pollution issues facing the region due to the consistent and wide spread
bombing of chemical facilities. We also touch on the effects of jets and
chemcial fumes on the ozone layer and on global warming. Radoje speaks
about the use of Depleted Uranium in the weapons of the USA and NATO, and
the devastating effects they can have on human health and the environment.
Groundwater pollution issues are addressed and Radoje speaks about the
problems associated with gathering data about the extent of the pollution
problems and how official data is being withheld due to fears of creating
further mass panic.
Finally Radoje outlines the plea he and his organisation have for the rest
of the world in asking them to consider the severe and lasting
environmental consequences of NATO's attacks and to immediately seek a
peaceful solution.
