A Serbian diplomat has hailed the UAE's evacuation of a number of her country's citizens as a testament to the Emirates' humanitarian solidarity, reaching out and providing aid to nations around the world.

"We, on behalf of the leadership in the Republic of Serbia, extend our thanks, gratitude, and appreciation to the leadership, government, and people of the UAE for the humanitarian support provided,” Danica Savović, Charge d'Affairs at the Serbian Embassy in the UAE, told WAM as an evacuation plane arrived in Abu Dhabi carrying foreign nationals from 16 brotherly and friendly countries from Sudan.

She continued by saying that during the evacuations, the UAE stood by numerous Serbians in Sudan, demonstrating the high regard for fellow human beings that permeates the UAE society as evidenced by their kindness and welcoming toward the evacuees. She noted that the UAE evacuated a number of Serbians today, including a family with children, and treated them with warmth and welcome.

"The evacuees have been reassured and given adequate housing so they could continue traveling back to their country in safety and security," the diplomat added.
