“We were saddened to hear of the devastating floods and the landslides that struck large parts of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last few days. Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by this natural disaster and those who have yet to be brought to safety.

In response to the situation, the European Union and its Member States began providing immediate emergency assistance in support of the local authorities in both countries. At these difficult moments, the people of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina can rely on the solidarity and continued help from their friends and partners in the European Union.”
