Sunday marks the 25th anniversary of NATO's 78-day aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
In 1999, an armed confrontation between Albanian separatists from the Kosovo Liberation Army and the Serbian army and police led to the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces, which started on March 24 and lasted for over two months.
The Serbian authorities say that about 2,500 people, including 89 children, were killed and approximately 6,000 people were injured in the bombings.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also said that the use of depleted uranium weapons caused an increase in the number of people with cancer in the country.
