Chemical, oil and pharmaceutical industry plants are being repeatedly bombed by NATO forces in the close vicinity of the large cities, such as Belgrade with its 2 million inhabitants, Novi Sad, Pristina, Pancevo, Subotica, Smederevo, Cacak, Krusevac. The enormous quantities of life threatening substances are emitted, poisoning air, earth and entire biosphere. Human lives are lost, sensitive and rare ecosites are destroyed, river flows and underground waters are polluted, and the air pollution is widespread causing long range earth pollution and endangering agricultural areas and woodland, largely threatening biodiversity. Thousands of Yugoslavs in the past days have turned to medical help due to poisonous gas effects caused by NATO bombing of chemical plants in Yugoslavia. This is another evidence of the crime against humanity done by NATO aggressors.
Further consequences are yet to be examined.
This has seriously effected flora and fauna of the most important European river and the Black Sea, and endangered water supply for the people of several neighboring countries as well. Chemical compounds formed by the bomb and missile explosions as well as the fires following destruction of edifices and woods surrounding them, are extremely harmful. Bearing in mind that NATO aggressor is using forbidden cluster bombs, these threatened areas are covering even wider region. Taking into accounts these facts and regarding the consistent peace policy of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia we appeal to you to act in emergency and within the framework of your authority undertake all measures necessary to immediately stop NATO aggression and prevent further environment destruction on the wider range of Europe and Mediterranean.
