EU zbog požara šalje helikoptere i vatrogasce u Srbiju
Mehanizam Europske unije za civilnu zaštitu poslat će helikoptere i vatrogasce kako bi pomogli Srbiji u borbi s velikim šumskim požarom u rezervatu prirode na sjeveroistoku zemlje, izjavio je u subotu šef misije EU-a u Beogradu.
Srbija je aktivirala mehanizam u petak nakon što se već tjednima bori s požarom u Deliblatskoj pješčari, jedinstvenom spoju pješčanih dina i šuma oko 80 kilometara od glavnog grada Beograda, kao i s drugim požarima na jugozapadu zemlje.
"Stojimo uz Srbiju u zaštiti života, egzistencije i jedinstvene prirodne baštine Deliblatske pješčare", napisao je na X-u Andreas Beckerath, šef misije EU-a u Beogradu.
Luka Čaušić, načelnik Sektora za izvanredne situacije Srbije, rekao je da će se europska pomoć sastojati od četiri vatrogasna helikoptera Black Hawk, 55 vatrogasaca i 24 vozila iz Njemačke te 69 vatrogasaca i 15 vozila iz Rumunjske.
Srbija nije članica EU-a, ali ima pristup hitnoj pomoći EU-a u okviru Mehanizma za civilnu zaštitu.
Zrakoplov za gašenje požara IL-76P Ministarstva za izvanredne situacije Rusije sletio je u srijedu u grad Niš na jugu Srbije kako bi sudjelovao u gašenju požara u Deliblatskoj pješčari, koji je od kraja srpnja uništio tisuće hektara borove šume.
Čaušić je rekao da je situacija u subotu stabilnija, ali da se očekuje jak vjetar te da je prioritet zaštita naselja i ljudskih života.
![CORRECTION/Firefighters douse the ground to prevent reignition after a wildfire was brought under control near La Adrada, 95 kilometres west of Madrid, on July 28, 2026. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said today that the country is starting to see the light at the "end of the tunnel in the fight against these wildfires," although he warned of "particularly complex hours" ahead as a new heatwave is set to hit the country starting tomorrow. The provinces of Avila, Madrid, Toledo, and Castellon continue to battle wildfires that have already burned over 77,000 hectares and forced the preventive evacuation of 63,000 people, according to figures from the Ministry of the Interior.
