Serbia sends police choppers to help North Macedonia’s firefighters

MUP Srbije

Aleksandar Vulin, Serbia's Interior Minister, said on Tuesday his Ministry (MUP) sent four helicopters with the 16-strong crew to North Macedonia to help firefighters there extinguishing fire in villages in the north of the country.

Three more Fire Brigade’s helicopters were also sent to the area.

Vulin said Serbia was ready to help anywhere in the neighbouring country if the fire spread, thus preventing it from unfurling to Serbia.

„We are together in this area, and we must be as close as possible to each other,“ Vulin’s office quoted him as saying.
