Red Cross has significant impact on supporting vulnerable groups, improving lives of Serbian citizens

Belgrade, 1 October 2024

Prime Minister Miloš Vučević spoke today with President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Kate Forbes about activities and opportunities to support this humanitarian organisation.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the Red Cross, as one of the oldest international organisations founded in our country, has a significant impact on supporting vulnerable groups and improving the lives of our citizens.

Vučević expressed his gratitude for the contribution and support that these humanitarian societies provided during crisis situations such as pandemics and natural disasters.

Kate Forbes pointed out that the main mission of the International Federation is the provision of humanitarian aid and protection of human rights, in which the most important resource are volunteers and people of good will who are ready to help.

She called on representatives of Serbia to participate in the International Conference of the Red Cross, which will be held in Geneva at the end of October and gather representatives of the national societies of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent, governments, as well as non-governmental organisations and which represents an important platform for the discussion of issues of humanitarian aid, protection of human rights and promotion of international humanitarian law.

Emphasising that next year marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Red Cross Society in Serbia, Vučević said that the Serbian government is ready to provide institutional support to facilitate the operation and activities of this organisation in our country.
