The government will set up a commission to investigate conditions in the institutions for persons with special needs. Health and Labor ministers, Tomica Milosavljevic and Rasim Ljajic, will work on the report, it was announced today. Gov't to probe special care institutions Any measures that to be undertaken will be decided on after the government receives the report, due at the next cabinet session, Milosavljevic said. The minister visited a children's neurosurgical and psychiatric clinic in Belgrade, and told reporters that MDRI report about torture and abuse in Serbian special care institutions "left him embittered". "How can anyone call healthcare system efforts in Serbia torture," Milosavljevic asked. Yesterday, Beta carried a statement from Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, which said that departmental ministers had informed him that many of the points made in the report by Mental Disability Rights International were not true. "Especially tendentious and malicious are the accusations that torture is used as a form of treatment for children, and that the children live in concentration camps, rather than in social institutions," the prime minister said. The government will insist that light be shed on the real situation in special institutions and will raise the issue of the responsibility for the false accusations made against Serbia in the report entitled "Torture as Treatment." Kostunica assessed that there is a "systematic propaganda campaign that Serbia is a fascist state, even though every Serbian citizen feels a deep bitterness toward both fascism and fascists, who killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country." "Now it has come to concentration camps for helpless children, and the moment that this is happening is no coincidence. The Serbian government will oppose such dark propaganda through all democratic and legal means," Kostunica stated.
