GALERIE FOTO | Mândria lui Vučić a pârjolit mii de hectare de pădure și vegetație. Președintele Serbiei a cerut ajutor Europei abia când focul a scăpat de sub control. Și după ce l-a rugat mai întâi pe Putin

Serbia has been battling wildfires for over a month, with President Vučić initially refusing international aid. As the situation worsened, he sought help from Russia and the EU. Despite the national pride narrative, the fires devastated thousands of hectares and led to evacuations. The EU responded quickly with helicopters and firefighters after Serbia activated its Civil Protection Mechanism. Criticism arose regarding the delayed request for assistance, with legal actions being considered against officials for negligence. The situation highlighted both regional cooperation and the challenges of national pride in crisis management.
