The European Union has urged for the suspense of the use of ammunition with depleted uranium, following a relative decision of the europarliament which 394 Eurodeputies voted for. Meanwhile, 103 Greek Eurodeputies handed a resolution to the speaker of the European Parliament, asking for the ban of these weapons.

Germany is now searching to find plutonium in Nato bombs, while soldiers seem reluctant to join the peace keeping force in Kosovo.

Furthermore, the Greek government does not confirm the existence of nuclear weapons in Greece, while government spokesman Dimitris Reppas has stated that there is no new developments in the issue.

Meanwhile, the NATO spokesperson in Brussels declined to make any statements on the issue when the Athens news agency asked him relatively. Nevertheless, according to information nuclear bombs stored in Araxos air force base have been removed.
