Montenegrin Foreign Minister Milan Rocen contacted Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas earlier today and informed him that the Montenegrin authorities will take the Greek government up on its offer of assistance in regions of Montenegro hit by extensive flooding in recent days. Mr. Rocen thanked the Greek side for its readiness to offer assistance and noted that Greece was among the first countries to offer its help to Montenegro.
In light of this, an air force C-130 aircraft will depart for Montenegro in the coming hours, carrying tents and other emergency supplies for flood victims. The same aircraft will also carry food supplies to flood victims in Albania, pursuant to relevant arrangements with the Albanian authorities.
