As part of the project that provides support to refugees from Ukraine who are in Montenegro, bearing in mind the limited capacities of the Red Cross of Montenegro, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies allocated funds for the purchase of 5 vehicles that were necessary for the implementation of the activities and the response to the needs of the vulnerable population.

From the beginning of the war in Ukraine until 30th of January, 92 547 people from Ukraine entered Montenegro, out of which 7,919 people applied for temporary protection (which is 1.27% of the total population). The Red Cross of Montenegro started to provide its services to the refugees from Ukraine with their first arrivals. Until now, the Red Cross of Montenegro directly supported 3012 persons, while the number of those who received different kind of necessary information and/or referral is much higher.

Building on the successful cooperation between the Red Cross of Montenegro and the municipality of Golubovci on the repair and construction of a flood protection wall in Ponari community, the two decided to team up again for a more ambitious green and grey infrastructure project in Kurilo and Bistrice.
