Cottbus – The Cottbus Administrative Court has dismissed the compensation claim of a father whose son died more than 20 years ago as a soldier in Kosovo. According to the court, the father asserted that the ammunition with enriched uranium used by the US armed forces in Kosovo until April 1999 or that the heavy metal pollution that existed in Kosovo at the time could have caused the death of his son in the legal sense. The Bundeswehr soldier was deployed to Prizren as part of a KFOR mission. A reason for the judgment, which took place on November 16, is still pending. It has not yet reached those involved, said court spokesman Gregor Nocon on Monday upon request. First of all, the «Lausitzer Rundschau» reported. An application for admission of the appeal to the Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg (OVG) can be filed against the judgment. (dpa)
