Serbian Armed Forces team heads to Slovenia to join flood relief efforts

BELGRADE - Twenty-two Serbian Armed Forces servicemen departed for Slovenia on Wednesday to join flood relief efforts in the country.

The servicemen, who come from the Serbian Air Force and the 63rd Parachute Brigade, took off from the Colonel Pilot Milenko Pavlovic Air Base in Batajnica near Belgrade aboard H-145 and Mi-17 helicopters.

EU aid package ready for Slovenia

The European Commission has put together a package of financial aid for Slovenia to help the country deal with the massive damage caused by flooding and offered what EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said was "maximum flexibility" concerning bureaucratic procedures.

Flood impact to business huge

Business located in parts of Slovenia that have been hit hardest by the devastating flooding have suffered enormous damage. Apart from direct damage, businesses are concerned about a loss of income and deals that they say could affect even more companies down the supply chain. They have been given assurances though that the government will step in.
