Russian experts are working on mine clearance in Nis, where 13 cluster bombs and five air bombs have been found so far. Today, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic and Russia's Ambassador to Serbian Aleksandr Konuzin visited the EMERKOM team, where leader Andrei Vinohodov told them that a number of other explosives were also discovered at the location. Konuzin, Dacic visit Russian deminers The Russian specialists have since July manually searched123,000 square meters of the Nis airport grounds. A mechanical device designed to search for bombs has combed 263,000 square meters of the civilian part of the airport. Vinohodov said that some 30 Russian specialists from EMERKOM, the Russian state agency, have found eight cluster and air bombs, three grenades, 20 anti-aircraft 20 millimeter caliber bullets and one detonator. Dacic said that the Serbian people value Russia’s help highly, which is seen not only in this instance, but in Moscow's principled stance regarding Kosovo and the Serbian position in international relations. He explained that many of the bombs found were dropped by NATO airplanes during the attack on Serbia in 1999, including the cluster bombs, which have been outlawed. Dacic also addressed the issue of the strategic Russo-Serbian energy agreement: “We hope that after the ratification, we will accelerate the signing of all the acts that stem from the agreement.” Konuzin said that the Russian experts engaged in the mine clearing operation in Serbia's south are "very positively influenced by the ratification of the energy agreement between Serbia and Russia". The ambassador added that he hopes that the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry will successfully cooperate with a similar service which Serbia has in the pipeline.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
