Putin recommends helping Kosovo Serbs, “without political overtones”
Russia will provide humanitarian aid to Serbian enclaves in Kosovo. On March 24, president of Russia Vladimir Putin instructed head of government to work out the issue, NTV informed.
According to Russian foreign minister's report to the head of state, the situation with humanitarian aid in Serbian enclaves in Kosovo has drastically deteriorated in the past weeks. Serbian government has recently addressed Russia asking humanitarian aid to support population in these enclaves.
The Serbs are first of all interested in medical supplies, medical equipment, extended-storage food, and hygiene-related products. “We would consider it important to honor this request,” Sergei Lavrov said.
“If humanitarian help is needed, let us do it, but without political overtones. I am asking the head of government to work out the issue,” Putin replied.
