First meeting between the Foreign Secretariat and the San Marino Associations to coordinate the solidarity actions towards the Ukrainian people
The Secretariat of State for Foreign Affairs convened a first meeting in the morning at Palazzo Begni between the parties concerned and involved in solidarity initiatives in favor of Ukrainian citizens. The meeting was chaired by the Department Director, Matteo Mazza who, assisted by officials of the Foreign Affairs Department, informed of the will of the Secretariat of State and the Department to act as a collector of all the initiatives in progress or to be promoted, to concretely support the Ukrainian population, both locally and through forms of reception in the Republic. Sammarinese and other organizations and associations were present at the meeting, particularly involved in the massive exodus from Ukraine, especially of women and children. During the meeting, the desire was expressed to carry out a survey of the various initiatives in the field, asking to know any manifestations of willingness to welcome, in the prevailing context of family reunification, in consideration of the high number of Ukrainian citizens present in San Marino, especially engaged in home care for the elderly. To this end, a specific decree is being defined in these hours which will dictate the extraordinary measures adopted to facilitate citizens of Ukrainians fleeing the war to enter and stay in San Marino. In particular, the measures will be aimed at favoring reception in state structures or in the immediate availability of the institutions, as well as with families who will be generously hosted, in their homes, the family members of Ukrainians who, to varying degrees, now live in San Marino. In order to offer a reception as coordinated as possible and in close connection with the bodies and institutions involved, the stay of Ukrainian citizens will be guaranteed until availability is reached in the aforementioned structures. A dedicated Unit will therefore be activated at the Department to respond to every request and request for information about entry and reception methods and to assist the activities of the associations. This Unit will have an email address and telephone numbers that will be quickly communicated. The Secretariat of State for Foreign Affairs takes the joint mobilization of entities and associations and civil society, in this race of solidarity which is already showing the closeness and the active support to the weaker groups, in this moment of sadness and bewilderment for the conflict in progress
