28. Jun held a very productive meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia Ivica Dacic in Belgrade today. We are thankful for his support of our humanitarian work and look forward to future cooperation.
S obzirom na neistinite i uznemirujuce navode koje je ovog jutra objavila eparhija Rasko Prizrenska humanitrna organizacija 28. Jun istice:
1. Humanitarna organizacia nigde nije pozvala na prikupljanje sresatava za manastir Devine vode, vec je realizovala donaciju iz sopstvenih sredstava. Smatramo da donacija u iznosu od 2000 kanadska dolara nije ‘mala’ donacija.
2. Sto se tice manastira Svetih Arhangela, niti u jednoj objavi nije navedeno da je manastiru bilo sta donirano.
3. U zvanicnoj objavi 28.Juna koja se tice hitne dostave hrane narodnoj kuhinji i vrticu na Kosovu I Metohiji, u decembru prosle godine, jasno je navedeno da je dostavljeno oko 20 paleta hrane, izrazena je duboka zahvalnost dobrotvornom fondu Covekoljublje, uz ciju saradnju je ceo projekat i realizovan. Citav trosak prevoza i dostave takodje je snosila nasa organizacija.
4. Aktivnosti koje nasa orgnizcija ima pred najvisim organom medjunarodne zajednice usmereni su na pravdu i istinu za nas narod, pa je jasan motiv pokretanja inicijative za potpisivanje peticije za ocuvanje Srpskog kulturnog nasledja na KiM. Nejasno je kako je ovaj akt protumacen kao negativan.
Како је humanitarna organizacija 28. Jun stekla konsultativni status pri Ujedinjenim Nacijama pre 18 meseci, tako je vazno istaci da je finansijsko poslovanje organizacije detaljno provereno od strane kanadske racunovodstvene firme koja kontinuirano o finansijama vodi racuna.
Napad na 28. Jun koja je strogo volonterska organizacija, te pokusaji da se ukalja nasa reputacija, navode nas na to da pomislimo da je cilj da se druge humanitarne organizacije, koje se predstavljaju kao volonterske, iako imaju zaposlene koji vode njihove poslove, istaknu u prvi plan.
U prilog ovoj izjavi dostavljamo racune.
Ostajemo pri navodima da je akcija Dogodine u Prizrenu izuzetan projekat i nastavljamo sa punim entuzijazmom i hriscanskom ljubavlju, da volontiramo za dobrobit nasih ljudi. Naposletku, dodajemo i clanak takodje eparhije Rasko Prizrenske, iz decembra, nakon pristizanja pomoci u hrani, koji je kontradiktoran svemu navedenom u poslednjoj negativnoj objavi.
Na ovo gledamo kao na Bozije iskusenje i proveru nase trpeljivosti i istrajnosti. Sigurni smo da Gospod sve vidi te da ce svako biti nagradjen prema sopostvenim zaslugama.
We are thrilled to announce that 3 months after beginning the ‘Dogodine u Prizrenu’ project, we have successfully completed the gift giving portion with deliveries to Serbian enclaves in KiM on Savindan (Jan. 27)! Our teams in the Diaspora worked tirelessly since November to acquire gifts and our local teams in the Balkans spent the majority of the last month delivering thousands of gifts to Serbian children in dozens of locations across the region.
In Serbia we focused on the south with the Kursumlija municipality and Serbian population centers in Kosovo and Metohija as the main recipients. In Krajina, our teams visited the Kistanje and Knin municipalities and surrounding villages. In Republika Srpska we focused on Banja Luka and in Montenegro we helped a family in Podgorrica. Schools and Churches were used as primary distribution centers and each delivery was documented daily on our social media.
As for the overall progress of the ‘Dogodine u Prizrenu’ project, we have now:
1. Submitted a petition signed by 150,000 people calling for the protection of Serbian cultural heritage in KiM at the United Nations.
2. Raised the issue of discriminatory policies against Kosovo Serbs 3 times at the United Nations; in New York, Geneva and Vienna.
3. Held events on every continent to raise awareness of the daily struggles Serbs face in Kosovo and Metohija.
4. Broke the blockade imposed by Kosovo authorities on food imports from Serbia with an emergency delivery of food supplies.
5. Delivered Christmas presents to underprivileged Serbian children in Kosovo and Metohija and throughout the region.
This week we expect our container with $700,000 worth of medical supplies to clear customs in Nis and for our team to visit Prizren and make a symbolic donation to the Monastery of the Holy Archangels, finally concluding the project. This has been our largest, most difficult and most rewarding project since 28. Jun was funded 7 years ago. We want to thank our supporters from the bottom of our hearts for helping us throughout this entire journey.
