Ambassador Michael Davenport, Head of the EU delegation in Serbia has presented grant agreements to the partners – Serbia’s Commissariat for Refugees and Migration and civil society organisations Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe (HELP), Arbeiter Samariter Bund (ASB) and Danish Refugee Council (DRC), to start the implementations of a new aid package worth 7 million euros to help Serbia cope with the unprecedented refugee flows. The package will be used to increase operational capabilities of Serbia’s national and local authorities, as well as for purchasing equipment necessary for helping refugees. The funding comes from a special measure adopted on October 7 by the European Commission.
The €7 million special measure is structured in the following way:
ASB is a German aid and welfare organisation, engaged in areas such as civil protection, rescue services and social welfare services. As a non-political organisation, ASB has, since its foundation in 1888, provided rapid and direct help to all those in need of our support.
