Turkey donates river rescue boat to Hrvatska Kostajnica

Author: Snježana Pezer

ZAGREB, Feb 24 (Hina) - Representatives of the Hrvatska Kostajnica town authorities and the Red Cross on Monday were presented with a river rescue boat during flood situations which is valued at about €18,000 and was donated by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA).

The donation came about through cooperation with TIKA which began during the disastrous floods and landslide that occurred in March 2018 when 11 family homes were destroyed in the town.

On that occasion, TIKA sent aid for those affected and announced that it would send new assistance, which resulted in today's donation.

Fatih Kaya of the Turkish Embassy to Croatia and TIKA's Zagreb office attache Hasim Koc announced that the cooperation would continue with new donations in the form of didactic playground equipment for the Hrvatska Kostajnica kindergarten.

Kostajnica Mayor Dalibor Biscan expressed his gratitude for the donation. He added that during a recent visit of Croatian mayors to Turkey, he presented Kostajnica's example of waste disposal, and that a similar system is now being applied in Turkey. He said that he was grateful that Istanbul had recognised Kostajnica's needs and donated the rescue boat which, he added, will be very useful in flood situations.
