Fleckenstein welcomed the responsibility and good organisation with which Serbia handles the migrant crisis in its territory, stating that Serbia has thus become an example of respect for European values. He announced that the Workers' Samaritan Federation, which has around 1.2 million members in Germany, will soon send financial aid to Serbia for the accommodation of migrants.

The Prime Minister expressed gratitude to Fleckenstein, who is also Vice President of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, for the support of that political group to the European path of Serbia.
