Grant Description

On April 16, 2020, anti-epidemic materials donated by the Chinese government to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in Montenegro. The donation included medical protective equipment such as masks and gloves as well as two respirators. The donation was received by representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, more recent sources suggest that the respirators were not used by the Government of Montenegro as they were deemed unsafe for COVID patients.
