Leggero, is one of the most vocal advocates of this issue. He has established the proof linking an exposure to depleted uranium and cancer and offered all the documentation and other evidence to the Serbian legal team. Italian courts have issued over 80 rulings ordering the Ministry of Defense to pay compensation to severely ill soldiers who had been deployed in Kosovo and other territories exposed to the deplete uranium or their families, if the soldiers had died.

By the end of the year, Serbian international legal team will file the first lawsuit for compensation of damages caused to the Serbian citizens who were exposed to depleted uranium used in the NATO bombing, after which they fell ill with cancer.
