ASB-Chairman Knut Fleckenstein, Member of the European Parliament is getting deep impressions of the refugee crisis in Serbia
“We have to support the Serbian people and the Serbian government in their efforts to help the refugees crossing their country and taking breath in Serbian collective centers”, said Knut Fleckenstein, Federal Chairman of the Board of Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) Germany and Member of the European Parliament, during his visit to Serbia last week. Fleckenstein wanted to get an insight impression of the current situation in the Balkan country.
“It is depressing how poor the reaction of some EU member states is”, he said. “I am really impressed how our Serbian friends are handling the situation.” But in Knut Fleckensteins eyes, there is also hope: “It is good to see, that the teams of ASB and IDC (Initiative for Development and Cooperation) are handling the situation so well. Their dedication to the refugees – in addition to the work they are already doing for other social and developments projects in Serbia and South Eastern Europe – cannot be valued enough.”
ASB is a German aid and welfare organisation, engaged in areas such as civil protection, rescue services and social welfare services. As a non-political organisation, ASB has, since its foundation in 1888, provided rapid and direct help to all those in need of our support.
