Two million and free transport. Serbian entrepreneurs help fellow tribesmen in Kosovo
Representatives of medium and small Serbian businesses in Kosovo help Kosovo Serbs like them, living in remote villages and in an aggressive Albanian environment, to survive.
Serbian media reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Elderly and low-income residents of nine Serbian communities in Kosovo will receive assistance worth two million Serbian dinars (about 1,5 million rubles) from a local Serbian entrepreneur who wishes to remain anonymous. While the local Serbian leadership is using the money he donated to create packages with food and essentials, he himself volunteered to deliver 25 tons of flour to the enclaves.
Moreover, 130 such sets worth two thousand euros have already been sent from Kosovo (North) Mitrovica to the Serbian community of Klokot, surrounded by Albanian settlements.
“Together with our partners and volunteers, today we began to quickly distribute kits in Klokot, distributing them among the most socially vulnerable families who have no income, and tomorrow we will continue distributing kits in the villages of Vrbovac, Grncar and Mogila,” commented the head of the Klokot community, Bozhidar. Dejanovic. “During the period of isolation and the fight against coronavirus, we need any help, especially hygiene products and food. Our volunteers are in constant contact with the population and are ready to deliver it to those in need around the clock.”
Also, the aid purchased with the money of an anonymous donor reached Vucitrn, Obilic, Novo Brdo, Pec, Istok, Klina and Srbica.

In turn, the director of the Passenger Transport Agency “KIM-CO” from Gracanica, Bogoljub Marinkovic, wrote an open appeal to the President of Serbia, the Serbian Ministry of Health and the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, in which he proposed to use his fleet in case of a “crisis situation.”

“If you are in need of passenger vehicles, I would like to offer the assistance of my transportation agency,” Marinkovic wrote. – The entire fleet with drivers will be available to you free of charge in order to solve problems in this crisis situation. I only ask you to bear the cost of fuel, since I will not be able to cover it. I have a license for transportation in Serbia, abroad, and also a license in Kosovo. I own fleets in Gračanica, Niš, Kragujevac and Belgrade – in each of these cities I have buses with 50 seats and minibuses with 18-20 seats.”
