San Marino, are sought to welcome the children of Ukraine
A delegation from the Congress of State, made up of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Luca Beccari and the Secretary of State for Labor Teodoro Lonfernini, received a Ukrainian family with three young children representing the refugees that the Republic of San Marino is, in these days, welcoming in its territory.
A further signal of what has been a rapid and articulated response by the citizens and institutions of San Marino to the humanitarian crisis that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has generated. The people of San Marino have once more added a thousand values to the underlying values of their history: solidarity and welcome towards the oppressed, as well as a clear understanding of dialogue using all possible diplomatic channels, the only solution for a rapid resolution of the conflict.
“The State Congress – reads a note – is particularly pleased to know that these families find themselves in a protected and safe situation, thanks to the support of San Marino voluntary organizations and associations engaged in hospitality.
In these days, the entire effective body of the Republic of San Marino is committed to facilitating as much as possible the stay of Ukrainians fleeing the conflict in our territory, coordinating their health policies, recognition through special residence permits, sustenance and accommodation, including education and pedagogy for the many children and young people who are arriving in San Marino ”.
