The EU is sending four Black Hawks and ground firefighting teams from Germany and Romania. At the same time, the Russian "Ilyushin" continues to extinguish fires in the Deliblat sandbar
Why did Serbia not ask for help in putting out the fire from the European Union, but did it from Russia? Especially if it is known that the EU is the biggest donor in the country, and Moscow only jumps in in such situations, even though it does not give any money. Bulgaria is also concerned about security
The Russian Il-76 firefighting aircraft began to take part in extinguishing a large fire in Deliblatska peščara, and in the first burst it threw 42 tons of water onto the fire. The plane had previously arrived at Niš Airport "Konstantin Veliki", from where it was directed to the largest active fire in Serbia
On the order of President Vladimir Putin, Russia sent an "Ilyushin" plane with a crew and an operational group of the Ministry of Emergency Situations to Serbia to help extinguish forest fires. The aid arrives just days after Aleksandar Vučić said that Serbia does not need help and that it can fight the fires on its own.
