01. Nov 2021.
The Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia in Bucharest, Stefan Tomašević, pointed out, on the occasion of the medical assistance that Serbia sent to Romania, that solidarity with the Romanian people was once again shown in action.

In an interview with Radio Romania International, the ambassador referred to the medical assistance that Serbia provided to Romania, as well as to the current epidemiological situation in both countries.

During the conversation, the ambassador said that the initiative initiated by the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, was aimed at making everything that Serbia had at a certain moment, and which was not in use in our health system, available to Romania, specifically, the aid consisting of more than 6000 units of monoclonal antibodies and 170 oxygen concentrators.

He pointed out that the mentioned assistance was sent from Belgrade by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Nikola Selaković, and that he, as an ambassador, had the honor to receive it in Romania, together with the State Secretary for European Affairs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Iulia Matei and Raed Arafat, State Secretary in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the head of the Department for Emergency Situations.

The ambassador emphasized that he is sure that this is an act that will not only save many human lives, but also contribute to stronger and more developed mutual relations.

He pointed out that Serbia, thanks to President Vučić, managed to make strategic decisions when it comes to building new hospitals, and that, in that sense, the situation in Serbia is somewhat better because this prevented the collapse of the health system.

Tomašević pointed out that we are witnessing a large number of infected people on a daily basis, both in Serbia and Romania, and appealed to the citizens to get vaccinated and thus save not only their own, but also the lives of their loved ones.
