Kirby will attend a donation ceremony at the Serbian Red Cross warehouse in Zemun to mark the handover of a consignment of supplies to assist refugees and migrants in Serbia.

The Ambassador will be joined by Red Cross President Prof. Dr. Dragan Radovanovic and Secretary General Ms. Vesna Milenovic.
The donation reaffirms the US Government's committment to providing relief to those in need across the world and specifically helping the Government of Serbia respond to the current refugee and migrant crisis.
