Consequently, the participants of the Conference determine decided to submit to the state institutions of the Republic of Serbia the following:

APPEAL

1.    To compile the list of all civilian victims of NATO Aggression of 1999. This is a moral debt whose observance should not be delayed.
2.    To establish a state commission tasked with finding out the consequences of the use of weapons filled with depleted uranium and of the destruction of chemical facilities and power stations in terms of repercussions on human health and the environmental damage.
3.    To initiate, ex officio, the matter of reparation for the inflicted war damages, on the basis of the irrefutable fact that NATO committed an armed aggression of 1999 in violation of the UN Charter, of the fundamental principles of the international relations, and of the NATO Founding Act of 1949. This was publicly corroborated by representatives of NATO and by several leaders of NATO Member States who had served at the time of aggression.
4.    To legalize and repair the “Eternal Flame” Monument dedicated to the victims of NATO aggression of 1999, located in the “Ušće” Park in Novi Beograd, which had, during its 18 years of existence, garnered a general affirmation and public appreciation. This includes the carving of the names of all victims of NATO aggression onto the plates surrounding this Monument, and the instalment of the “eternal flame”.
5.    To declare 24 March as the Day of Remembrance of Serbian victims, on which would the national flag be lowered on half-mast on the buildings of all state institutions, establishments and publicly-owned enterprises.
6.    To conduct an expert analysis of the representation and the contents of the subject on NATO aggression of 1999 in curricula and textbooks for the primary and the secondary education, in order to remove any potential gaps, one-sided and/or politicised views, and to enable the young generation to form their judgment on the basis of verifiable facts.
