Italian ambassador joins campaign to help flood victims
They brought cooking oil, sugar, milk, canned food, and bottled water."Our inspiration were the citizens of Serbia who organized and began collecting donations for the victims. We decided to join them and we came to the REX because of B92's reputation when it comes to this kind of campaign," said Manzo.
He added that the Italian government dispatched four boats used in rescue operations from the port of Brindisi and also sent EUR 200,000 to the account of the Serbian Red Cross.
"This money will be used in the coming days, when the people affected by the floods will need support to start a new life," said the ambassador.
He recalled that Italians themselves in the past faced natural disasters and understand very well the grief of the victims.
Manzo agreed that the two nations have a similar temperament and advised unity in difficult times. "Difficulties should be confronted together, and friends relied on. And Italians are your friends," the diplomat told B92.
