FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, November 26 (FENA) - The Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina delivered protective medical equipment in the amount of 100,000 KM to the Cantonal Civil Protection Administration of the Zenica-Doboj Canton (ZDC).

The donation consists of 101,000 non-sterile disposable gloves, 20,000 shoe covers and 6,050 protective suits.

Head of Cooperation in the EU Delegation to BiH, Richard Masa, said that with the delivery of the new donation, the total value of EU assistance to this canton since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic has approached the amount of one million KM.

The equipment is part of the European Union's medical assistance for BiH, worth a total of seven million euros, which has been delivered across the country since March this year.

“At the same time, BiH will receive assistance for economic development. We have provided grants worth 73 million euros, and at the same time we have provided 250 million euros of macro-financial assistance that BiH can use directly from our European Central Bank,” said Masa.

The procurement of equipment was carried out through the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), as an implementation partner of the EU, with which the Government of ZDC has been procuring equipment for the needs of the health sector since the beginning of the pandemic. Members of the EUFOR team in BiH delivered the new donation, announced ZDC Press Service.

“Today is another example of the commitment of the EU and EUFOR to the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina and represents only a small part of the continuous assistance provided by the EU to support medical institutions during this pandemic,” said Colonel Anastas Bakalov, Deputy Chief of Staff of EUFOR.

Director of the Cantonal Administration of Civil Protection of the ZDC Džavid Aličić thanked for the donation on behalf of the Government of ZDC, stating that medical protective equipment is currently most needed in the health sector, given that in recent months increased consumption of this equipment due to exponential growth in the number of infected.
