We invite all of the civilized world to protect the Serbian cultural, religious and historical heritage in the Southern Serbian province of Kosovo and sign the petition against the separatist government in Pristina being granted membership in UNESCO.

“The Serbian and Jewish peoples have shared a long history of oppression and persecution. We’ve shared the horror of the Jasenovac concentration camp.” -Michael Dickson

28. Jun today announced the successful completion of a 4-year long initiative to deliver humanitarian and medical supplies to the Western Balkans.

The final delivery was made possible by a generous donation from the Israeli advocacy organization StandWithUs. Since 2011, 28. Jun successfully completed 5 projects which encompassed 22 deliveries of aid to Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Kosovo. The aid was transported from North America via ship and from Western and Central Europe via truck. “The Serbian and Jewish peoples have shared a long history of oppression and persecution. We’ve shared the horror of the Jasenovac concentration camp. Now, free in our homelands, Serbia and Israel have the opportunity to share a thriving future. On behalf of the Israeli people, StandWithUs is proud to contribute toward Serbian flood relief in the hopes of continuing and growing our historical friendship,” said Michael Dickson, StandWithUs Director.

Jun, for spearheading the collection and delivery of aid to people effected by the floods in Republika Srpska.”

28. Jun in partnership with the Red Cross and the Ministry of Youth and Sport delivered 10 pallets of diapers, blankets, clothes, hygiene products and laptops with software for the blind to the Dom ‘Veternik’ center disabled children and youth in Novi Sad.

The delivery was made as part of the ‘Their Future, Our Responsibility project to aid vulnerable children in Serbia which we had to pause to focus on emergency flood relief.
