We remind you that the situation in the neighboring country is very difficult, more than 18 people have lost their lives, and more than 40 people are considered missing.
Our colleagues from the Red Cross/Cross of Bosnia and Herzegovina are on the ground and monitoring the situation, with the aim of providing assistance to families and individuals affected by the floods," they added.
The Red Cross of Montenegro, they point out, has already offered help to colleagues in the neighboring country and made its resources available, when the need arises.
"We will continue to be in communication with them and will inform the public about the possibilities of providing the necessary assistance," they conclude in the announcement.
