European Parliament rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister and European Union Ambassador to Serbia Michael Davenport attended the opening of kindergarten “Decja radost”, whose reconstruction following the May 2014 floods was financed by the European Union with approximately EUR240.000.

With the support of the European Union in restoring living conditions to the households highly damaged by May 2014 floods, many affected families are overcoming their problem.

More than 3,700 agricultural producers will receive barley, peas, red clover and Lucerne by the end of February, while another 3,700 farmers will receive maize seeds in March 2015. This will be the timely support for the spring cropping season, which will aim the largest group of agriculture families receiving support through the EU Assistance for Flood Relief Programme. At the same time, more than 120 farming families in Serbia will receive small agriculture equipment such as ploughs, mowers, tillers etc. during next two months.
