Podgorica, Montenegro (7 May 2020) -- Another contingent of protective medical assistance was delivered to Podgorica this morning.

Minister of the Interior Mevludin Nuhodžić emphasised that the donation of medical equipment from the Federal Republic of Austria is an expression of understanding, solidarity and friendship towards Montenegro.

"This assistance was implemented within the framework of the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism, of which Montenegro is a credible member and a reliable partner," said Minister Nuhodžić. Pointing to the importance of donating medical equipment, which will further improve our response to COVID - 19, the Minister voiced warmly gratitude to the Government of the Republic of Austria, and especially to Federal Minister of the Interior Karl Nehammer.

Minister Nuhodžić highlighted that the Government of Montenegro, the National Coordination Body and the entire Montenegrin society have achieved significant results in the fight against the coronavirus. "However, this fight is not over. It implies further responsibility and discipline, when it comes to the implementation of measures, at full capacity and in every place," the Minister concluded.

Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to Montenegro Ana Janković said that Austria offered assistance, in the form of medical equipment, to the countries of the region through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. She added that she appreciated the support and efforts, which the Government of Montenegro made in organising the return of Austrian citizens, who were in Montenegro at the time of outbreak of the crises.
