Government will cover costs of summer holidays for children from the countries hardest hit by the recent storm

The Montenegrin Cabinet, at today's session, adopted the Information on sending humanitarian aid to the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Belgium. Expressing sympathy and solidarity with the citizens of these countries in mitigating the impacts of the catastrophic floods that hit that part of Europe, the Cabinet decided to provide full board accommodation for the summer holidays for ninety children (thirty from each country) in one of the state-owned resorts, for a period of seven to ten days. In order to implement humanitarian aid, it is expected that these countries will appoint coordinators and/or guardians, who will be responsible for the children during their stay in Montenegro, while the costs of their accommodation will be borne by Montenegro.

The Ministry of Finance and Social Welfare is in charge of providing an approximate amount of EUR 30,000.00 from the current budget reserve for children's holidays with coordinators and/or guardians.
