She also stressed that the upcoming NATO summit will also speak about the 
organization's commitment to KFOR's continued mission.

Responding to questions from Serbian journalists about NATO's use of depleted 
uranium during the bombing of Serbia in 1999

Gottemoeller said that "both NATO and the UN in 2001 conducted thorough 
scientific studies that have proven that depleted uranium does not have an 
impact on health." 

"I know that there is constant concern about it in Serbia, I think that we have 
to continue our dialogue and continue to understand this concern, but from our 
point of view the evidence does not indicate that there are problems," 
Gottemoeller has been quoted as saying. 

Asked if NATO intends to apologize to Serbia for the aggression against the 
country carried out in 1999, Gottemoeller said that both NATO Secretary General 
Jens Stoltenberg and herself during their visits to Serbia "expressed regret 
over what had happened." 

"But we also want to emphasize to what extent security relations in partnership 
with NATO contribute to security and stability throughout the region and help 
increase the benefits for the Serbian public," Gottemoeller said, adding that 
"they see many benefits from cooperation between NATO and Serbia want it to 
continue." 

However, she said, "there will be no pressure on Serbia to join NATO."
