Activities in this sector include fighting fires, preventing floods and repairing damage after natural disasters, and for the past two years, support in the fight against the coronavirus - delivery of medical equipment, vehicles and aid to refugees and other vulnerable groups. More specifically, numerous ambulances, as well as those for extinguishing forest fires, were procured through European projects of the civil protection sector, and there is also rehabilitation after the floods, as well as prevention of future natural disasters.

Furthermore, the volunteers of the Mountain Rescue Service of Serbia received various equipment, vehicles, trainings... To conclude, there is a wide range of opportunities, and the easiest way grasp them is to apply for cross-border projects. These are the projects in which Serbia participates with neighbouring countries, and here is where you can find more information about the calls for proposals.
