(ANSA-AP) - BELGRADE - "We are not sending weapons, but blankets and medicine, and we will always send it, whoever asks," Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Wednesday.
Dacic insisted in his statement that "we are helping the people of Syria, as we did others, and as we will send help to Syria also if someone else suggests it." Officials said Serbia will send humanitarian aid to Syria and Serbian media have reported the aid will be sent by Russian planes from a Russian-Serbian humanitarian center in the southern Serbian city of Nis.
Serbia formally wants to join the 28-nation European Union, but Russia's influence remains strong and Belgrade has refused to impose sanctions against the Kremlin for its role in the Ukrainian crisis. (ANSA-AP).
