OSCE Mission to Montenegro delivers food and hygiene items to country's Red Cross during COVID-19 pandemic

The OSCE Mission to Montenegro procured and handed over food and hygiene items for babies to the Red Cross of Montenegro​ to be distributed to families in need.

Joining comprehensive efforts of the international community in Montenegro to assist the most vulnerable groups during COVID-19 pandemic, ​ the Mission delivered the packages, worth 3,000 Euros, on 16 April 2020 in Podgorica.

Following the Government’s call for support and donations, almost the entire international community in Montenegro answered and donated funds, resources, material, equipment and expertise.

Since it first occurred in Asia in December 2019, the coronavirus has spread to almost every country in the world. Montenegro was no exception. The Mission welcomes the Government's initiative to introduce early restrictive measures and thus keep the outbreak under control.
