"Our stance [on shells] is absolutely clear - it has been 30 years since the bombings of Yugoslavia with [depleted] uranium and we still feel the consequences of this weapon. Our citizens continue to die today, while new citizens, children, are born with disabilities - the consequence of bombings with such munitions," Samardzija told journalists. Based on its own experience, Bosnia and Herzegovina "stands against the use of such shells," the ambassador stressed. When asked if depleted uranium munitions are much more harmful than the usual ones, the ambassador responded: "they absolutely are," explaining that their consequences are there to impact many generations to come. On September 6, the US Defense Department announced a new $175 million military aid package for Ukraine that includes depleted uranium munitions for Abrams tanks, as well as air defense equipment and 155mm artillery shells.

Bosnia Still Suffering From Impact of Depleted Uranium Munition Bombings - Ambassador
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The repercussions of the US-led bombing of the former Yugoslavia with depleted uranium munitions are still felt in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnian Ambassador to Russia Zeljko Samardzija stated on Friday.
"Our stance [on shells] is absolutely clear - it has been 30 years since the bombings of Yugoslavia with [depleted] uranium and we still feel the
consequences of this weapon. Our citizens continue to die today, while new citizens, children, are born with disabilities - the consequence of
bombings with such munitions," Samardzija told journalists.
Based on its own experience, Bosnia and Herzegovina "stands against the use of such shells," the ambassador stressed.
"We are a small country and we do not get consulted a lot; nevertheless, we would like to express our opinion and it is as follows. Unfortunately, we have had a very bad experience and we got to fully experience the consequences of these shells," Samardzija emphasized.
When asked if depleted uranium munitions are much more harmful than the usual ones, the ambassador responded: "they absolutely are," explaining that their consequences are there to impact many generations to come.
On September 6, the
US Defense Department announced a new $175 million military aid package for Ukraine that includes
depleted uranium munitions for Abrams tanks, as well as air defense equipment and 155mm artillery shells.
