Support rally outside Croatian embassy in Belgrade

Hidajet Biscevic, the Croatian ambassador to Serbia, told N1 it was difficult to describe how much such support and solidarity meant.

The messages sent from the gathering organised by 'Don't Let Belgrade Drown' NGO said the whole of Serbia stood by Croatia and that it was ready to offer all sorts of help.

Biscevic said he had received dozens of e-mails by people across Serbia with support and questions about how they could help.

He added that the embassy would open an account for people who wanted to end money to the earthquakes' victims.

The ambassador thanked Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic for his support and encouragement, and the Government's decision to allocate one million Euro aid to Croatia. He also thanked Serbia's people for showing "exceptional solidarity and humanity."

As it was the case back in March when a strong earthquake hit Zagreb, Belgraders were posting messages on social networks calling on the solidarity with the neighbours and offering help to people in Petrinja.

A graffiti 'Petrinja' with a heart appeared in Belgrade on Wednesday.
