28. Jun Attends World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth 2019

28. Jun Relations Manager Selena Despotovic had a very productive weekend at the World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal. She met with Jayathma Wickramanayake, the United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth, the UNESCO delegation as well as the Portuguese Minister of Education Tiago Brandão Rodrigues. The World Conference of Ministers Responsible for Youth 2019 and Youth Forum Lisboa+21 was an event organized by the Portuguese Government and the Portuguese Youth Council in collaboration with the UN-System partners.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in 2015, is the international community’s ambitious response to nowadays most pressing global development challenges and will guide our development priorities for an entire generation. Young people played a key role in shaping this agenda and experience first-hand many of the issues it seeks to address: “The future of humanity and of our planet lies in our hands. It lies also in the hands of today’s younger generation who will pass the torch to future generations.”

Medical Supplies Finally Cleared for Delivery Amid Corruption Sting

28. Jun was involved in a major anti-corruption sting in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia and the the Security Intelligence Agency (BIA) today. 28. Jun helped dismantle a ring which unsuccessfully attempted to extort and defraud the humanitarian organization of 37,500 Euros in exchange for license to clear a donation of medical equipment to the Clinical Centre of Nis.

“We hope today’s unfortunate event will send a message to our supporters and the Serbian public that not even organized crime groups will disrupt our humanitarian work. We are thankful for the work of the agencies for enforcing the law and allowing us to finally deliver promised aid to the vulnerable. We are extremely happy that our patience, perseverance and dedication to helping those in need got us through this ordeal.

The container in question is comprised of medical aid that arrived in Serbia in January to be delivered to clinical centers in the country that rely on this equipment to treat patients. The delay incurred enormous docking and shipping costs and, most importantly, impacted medical treatment for people across the country.

We’re grateful and relieved that this ordeal has finally come to an end and call on all other humanitarian organizations and workers to utilize the law and stand against organized corruption at all levels and all types. Our perseverance against corrupt bodies ensured that the container worth nearly $700,000 is scheduled to be delivered to Nis by Friday.” stated 28. Jun Director for the Balkans Sava Vojnovic.”

28. Jun Debuts Advocacy Wing at United Nations Youth Forum

28. Jun has launched a new advocacy division called ’28. Jun Global’ tasked with channeling organized activism to promote humanitarian values and outcomes at international bodies like the United Nations. The United Nations Youth Forum in New York last month was the first high level event in which the new fraction took part in.

28. Jun Director for the Balkan region Sava Vojnovic stated; “28. Jun was honored to represent Serbia at the forum — our delegation had the opportunity to share our views and meet with President of the United Nations General Assembly Maria Fernanda Espinosa, President of the ECOSOC Inga Rhonda King and UN Envoy on Youth Jayathma Wickramanayake.” Adding, “Humanitarian advocacy offers pathways to political influence for apolitical organizations like 28. Jun. We remain impartial in our field efforts, while simultaneously recognizing that advocacy paves way for humanitarian politics that strive to create a brighter tomorrow.”

Informational packages for the ‘Truth. Reconciliation. Prevention’ project which takes a multi-ethnic look at the consequences of the NATO aggression against Serbia were distributed to every mission.

Consequences of NATO bombing to be examined at the UN

28. Jun will mark the 20th anniversary of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia with a new project which will explore the consequences of the bombing at the United Nations. 28. Jun will utilize its Special Consultative Status to chair two special sessions at the UN in New York and Geneva dealing with the effects on the region through a multi-ethnic lens. Titled ‘Truth. Reconciliation. Prevention.’— the endeavor seeks the support of the international community in bringing lasting stability to the Western Balkans through honest discourse. Last week, 28. Jun Vice President Milo Dubak delivered a blistering speech at the United Nations strongly condemning the illegal bombing at the 40th Session of the Human Rights Council. He concluded by announcing the organization’s plan to undertake the ambitious project which is slated to span several months.

 

28. Jun Meets Minister of Foreign Affairs Dacic

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.

28. Jun demantuje Eparhiju raško-prizrensku

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 Bought A House For the Majstorovic Family

To mark 3 years and 500 families helped since we started our ‘Help Serbian Families’ project, we bought the Majstorovic family a new home close to Sabac! The head of the household, Djuro Majstorovic, is a veteran of the war in Croatia, and had been unable to find a permanent home in Serbia for the past 23 years. His family has recently fallen on hard times and the new house will enable them to begin a new life.
We’re extremely proud of the efficiency of our fundraising and delivery teams. Families typically receive help the same month we share their plea with our followers, which is roughly 5 times faster than other organizations operating in the region. We started the project in early 2016 as a way to more directly help individual families after spending the previous 4 years delivering bulk medical and humanitarian aid.
Please have a look at the deliveries by year:
