Another 90 tons of medical equipment arrive at Belgrade airport

Belgrade, 29 March 2020

The Ministry of European Integration and the EU Delegation to Serbia announced today that a second cargo Boing 747 from Kerala, with 90 tons of medical protective equipment, landed at Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport was purchased by Serbia to fight COVID-19.

The cost of transporting the equipment has been fully funded by the European Union as part of a €93 million announced package for Serbia, which provides both emergency and short and medium-term assistance in the fight against COVID-19.

European Integration Minister Jadranka Joksimovic stressed that the whole world today faces an unprecedented challenge, while the uncontrolled spread of contagion is a threat to all of humanity.

Our success in the fight against the pandemic, she emphasised, depends on our actions, but also on the willingness of our international partners to assist us in this.

Therefore, I am very grateful to the EU, China, Norway, Switzerland and UN agencies that have shown solidarity with Serbia at this difficult time, and have made available their capacities to help us in our joint struggle to halt the potential consequences for the health of our citizens and our economy, she said.

Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Ambassador Sem Fabrizi said that Europe is struggling in a very difficult situation, that thousands of people are infected and thousands die every day.

In difficult times we have to stick together. We see great movements of solidarity across the continent, making our hearts full. That solidarity, of course, also encompasses Serbia, Fabrizi said.
