Serbia sent four planes carrying medical equipment including gloves, masks and protective suits to Italy on Saturday as a donation to help the EU member state tackle the spread of coronavirus.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic wearing a protective face mask poses next to the pilot holding one of the packages with medical supplies, the writing on it reads:"Let's win together! Courage, Italy, Serbia is with you!" at Nikola Tesla Airport, where planes with medical supplies are set to fly to Italy to help the fight against the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Belgrade, Serbia April 25, 2020.
“We will win together, be brave Italy, Serbia is with you,” Vucic wrote on one of the boxes of equipment before it was loaded on to a plane. “On its path to Europe, Serbia always had help from Italy,” Vucic said, noting that during devastating floods in 2014, Italy was one of the first countries to send aid.Serbia so far reported 7,483 cases of people infected with the coronavirus and 144 deaths.
Vucic had at the beginning of the crisis criticised the European Union for introducing a ban on the export of masks to non-EU countries, including Serbia.
