Letter of the President of the Republic of Turkey

"Dear Mr President, dear friend, 

 

I want to express my sincerest condolences on the loss of life of your citizens - including the State Secretary of the Ministry of the Environment, Mr Branislav Blažić - caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that poses a great danger to the whole world. I hope that we will overcome this difficult situation as soon as possible.

 

I am convinced that the active measures you have taken since day one of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic will help to master this crisis with the least possible losses. I wish you success in your efforts. I hope that the medical equipment we will send to your country this week, in addition to the test kits we had previously provided, will confer our support for the friends from Serbia in their fight against the pandemic.

 

I now want to express my wish to host Your Excellency in Turkey soon, when the crisis is subdued. Also, I convey to you my warmest wishes for your health and happiness, as well as the welfare and well-being of the friendly people of your country," reads the letter of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

 

Belgrade,
