SERBS FEAR DISASTER CAUSED BY NATO BOMBING OF CHEMICAL PLANTS

In recent weeks, something in the rivers and lakes of Yugoslavia has changed.

Fish being caught in the Tamis river are sluggish and sickly, with
protruding bones and bulging eyes.

"I personally won't eat any fish from the river. Not for the next five
years,'' Dragomir Djuric, president of the Tamis River Fishing Club, tells
Thursday's CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

The Yugoslav government says NATO airstrikes on chemical plants around the
country caused an environmental catastrophe in Serbia.

"Next month, the United Nations is scheduled to conduct a formal
assessment of the environmental damage of the war," reports the paper's
Uli Schmetzer from Pancevo.

"A young woman named Yelena, who asked that her last name not be used,
said she had an abortion this week, fearful that the fetus she was
carrying might have been harmed by the air she breathed and the water she
drank."

Stories are circulating of outsized fruits and vegetables, of trees
turning bright yellow in mid-summer.

Madame Albright might want to check her liability insurance policy, there
is talk on the streets of filing a damage suit against the United States
and its leaders on behalf of the people of Pancevo.
