Gratitude to China on support in fight against COVID-19

Belgrade, 22 March 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic met today with a team of Chinese experts who arrived last night to Belgrade with a special flight from the People's Republic of China.

They came to Serbia to share their experiences in combating COVID-19 and to say which measures have given the best results in China in preventing the spread of this infectious disease.

The meeting was also attended by Minister of Health Zlatibor Loncar and Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Serbia Chen Bo.

The Prime Minister once again expressed her gratitude to the People's Republic of China for the support, medical equipment and, most importantly, for the arrival of the team of medical experts who have been in Serbia since last night.

Given that the COVID-19 virus is still under-researched, the Prime Minister stressed that the Chinese team of experts is the most valuable resource in combating the spread of the infection.

The People's Republic of China is a country that has confronted the COVID-19 virus in an exceptional way and we are extremely happy to have you here with us. There are currently no people in the world who know more about this infectious disease and whose experiences will be more useful to us, who are currently fighting the battle with the coronavirus. Thank you very much once again for being with us, she underlined.

Medical experts from China then attended a session of the Crisis Response Team to Curb Infectious Disease COVID-19, chaired by Prime Minister Brnabic and composed of other ministers in the Serbian government and a team of Serbian doctors and epidemiologists who will benefit immensely from the experience of their colleagues from the People's Republic of China.

At the meeting it was reiterated that isolation and self-isolation measures are crucial and the most effective means of combating the spread of the COVID-19 infection.

It was agreed that Chinese experts assist our epidemiologists in monitoring the situation and adopting new measures to protect the citizens of Serbia to the greatest extent possible from the infectious disease caused by the COVID-19 virus.
