The Serbian government declared at its session today three days of mourning over the death and suffering of a large number of citizens in the floods, to be observed on 21, 22 and 23 May 2014.
The Serbian government ordered the Republic Directorate for Commodity Reserves to deliver a grant-in-aid in the form of 30 tonnes of canned meat and pate, 50 tonnes of flour and five tonnes of powdered milk, as well as first aid to the vulnerable population.
This aid will be distributed by the Department for Emergency Situations in cooperation with the Red Cross and local self-governments.
The government decided to cede clothes, shoes and other goods seized in inspection procedures to the Department for Emergency Situations of the Ministry of the Interior, which will be used for the needs of the population affected by floods.
