After receiving medical aid in the form of masks, gloves and mobile respirators Tuesday evening, Bosnia's Serb Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik said the aid meant for the Serb entity of Republika Srpska (RS) was an important message to all the entity residents and represents a great deal for the residents fighting against the coronavirus pandemic.

“It is not only the material resources that we will receive that are very important but also the knowledge that Serbia cares for Republika Srpska. As I talked to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, I could also conclude from his words that as long as Serbia exists so will Republika Srpska and I want to convey that to all people in the RS, “Dodik told the Serbian public broadcaster RTS.

The first contingent of Serbia's aid in combating the coronavirus included five clinical and five transport respirators, 30,000 epidemiological N95 masks, 2,000 protective suits, 200 glasses and 50,000 gloves, and medicines.
