Great Britain donates 86 drainage pumps

The donation consists of pumps with drainage capacities of 400-800 litres per minute, which can be very useful on the site. The pumps were delivered to the Serbian Armed Forces during the International Fair 'Prevention and Reaction in Emergency Situations and Health Safety at Work.

Keefe recalled that after the floods which hit Serbia in May, Great Britain demonstrated sincere solidarity and took on the obligation to continue providing assistance to Serbia in the long-run so as to help the country overcome the crisis.

With its Tuesday donation, Great Britain continues providing assistance to the Serbian Armed Forces with which it maintains traditionally good cooperation, Keefe said and added that prior to the Tuesday donation, his country delivered equipment to the Serbian Interior Ministry's Emergency Situations Sector, provided technical assistance to the Red Cross of Serbia and actively participated in the donor conference in Brussels.

Keefe expressed the hope that there will no longer be any need for assistance provision with such intensity as was the case in May. He noted that the drainage pumps will help improve the efficiency of Serbia's response to the crisis.

Gasic expressed gratitude to Ambassador Keefe for the donation and underscored that Serbia needs assistance very much because after the May and June floods, the country is facing a catastrophic situation once more in the territory of Kladovo.

We maintain traditionally good cooperation with Great Britain and we are committed to nurturing and improving it further, the defence minister said.

Gasic expressed the hope that the bilateral cooperation would improve in other areas of social life as well in the time to come.
