Serbia sends new contingent of humanitarian aid to Ukraine

Belgrade, 30 August 2023

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic attended today the sending of a new contingent of 14 humanitarian aid trucks from our country to Ukraine, saying that Serbia is ready to help the Ukrainian people even more.

Brnabic pointed out that at the moment there are more than 43,000 refugees and displaced persons from Ukraine in Serbia and that our country will try to, in partnership with the EU, help and support the Ukrainian people in difficult circumstances and accept even more refugees from that country.

We hope for peace in Ukraine and on the European continent. This will bring a lot of good to us of all, above all to the Ukrainian people, the Prime Minister said and added that today aid is being sent in the form of medicines and goods for the vulnerable population of that country.

As for the shipment of medicines, we managed to allocate it through the Fund for Health Insurance and we will continue with that practice, the Prime Minister said.

Speaking about the goods, she explained that the shipment includes blankets, pillows, sponges for sleeping on the floor, but also filters for purifying water as well as drinking water.

Brnabic stressed that Serbia has continuously sent aid to Ukraine and that it has sent aid in electricity equipment, two state-of-the-art medical vehicles, as well as that it has paid €3 million in financial aid through UNICEF and UNHCR, adding that summer camps for children have been organised last and this summer and sports rehabilitation camps.

The Prime Minister stressed that the government of Serbia is in constant contact with the Embassy of Ukraine in Belgrade, and that it is trying to respond as soon as possible to all the needs of that country for humanitarian aid, adding that our country uses the European civil protection mechanism by which it sends aid to Ukraine.

The sending of a new shipment of humanitarian aid to Ukraine was also attended by Minister for European Integration Tanja Miscevic, Ambassador of Ukraine to Serbia Volodymyr Tolkach and Ambassador of the Delegation of the European Union to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret.
