Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic ordered the country's government to allocate a million euros from available funds as assistance to Croatia, which suffered from a series of earthquakes.
Tanyug reports this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The day before, Vucic said that Serbia is ready to help Croatia both technically and financially, and he hopes that the earthquakes will stop with minimal losses for the neighboring country.

“We are ready to provide any assistance. “I want Croatia to recover quickly and begin to quickly restore destroyed facilities,” Vucic said. “I offer my condolences, we are ready to provide any technical and financial assistance.”
According to available information, the earthquake, whose strength in different places ranged from 4,9 to 6,3 on the Richter scale, killed six people (two of them ethnic Serbs), including a twelve-year-old girl. The epicenter of the disaster was in the cities of Petrinja, Glina and Sisak.
It is noteworthy that all the settlements affected by the disaster were previously part of the unrecognized Republic of Serbian Krajina, which was later destroyed by the Croatian blitzkrieg.
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, who visited Petrinja, compared what he saw with Grozny in the mid-90s. Among the objects destroyed by the disaster are ancient churches of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
