- The situation is being monitored in the case if the oil spill reaches Serbia and if it does we have the equipment: nets for catching the spill, cleaning devices, but we don't expect that it will reach us - Puzovic said.

If that scenario occurs, the nets would catch 95% of oil, and the rest would be cleaned chemically.

- We are prepared and we take necessary precautions, so far the spill wasn't detected in Serbia and we are prepared to stop it if it shows up - Puzovic said.
