"I am glad that on behalf of the Republic of Serbia, and on the initiative of President Vucic, we are able to send aid to Romania. Our Romanian neighbors are now in the most difficult wave of the fight against Covid 19. These trucks contain help in the shape of medicines and oxygen," said Minister Selakovic.

The minister recalled that we received a donation of vaccines in June, and that this package is an opportunity to reciprocate and express gratitude for the friendly gesture.

"Serbia, which is developing and growing faster, today has the opportunity to help not only its own citizens, but also the citizens of our friendly countries, and Romania certainly is one. Get vaccinated and protect yourself and your loved ones from this horror that is claiming lives," Selakovic stressed during the handover of the donation.

The ambassador of Romania conveyed greetings and gratitude to President Vucic, Prime Minister Brnabic and the entire Government of Serbia for this significant donation.

Nighttime curfew has been reintroduced in Romania, while students are sent home for a school break. It should last two weeks, but no one dares to predict when the children will return to school, because Romania is in a coronavirus wave that is far more deadly than anything the country has experienced so far.

Of the 2,000 beds in intensive care, none are available anymore, and patients are forced to wait in front of hospitals. 50 seriously ill patients have been transferred to hospitals in Hungary and Poland.
