MOSCOW. Feb 18 (Interfax) - The Russian-Serbian humanitarian center based in Nis has handed five electric power plants to Slovenia to deal with the current electricity shortages, Russian Emergency Situations Ministry spokesman Alexander Drobyshevsky said.
"Five 120 kilowatt electric power plants have been delivered to Ljubljana as humanitarian aid and handed over to the Slovenian Defense Ministry's Defense and Rescue Department," he told Interfax on Monday.
The humanitarian aid arrived at the request of the Slovenian government in connection with a devastating cyclone, freezing temperatures, snow and icing, all of which disrupted electricity supplies.
Three of the delivered power plants have been connected to the stationary substations in the Gorenjska region which provide electricity to social facilities and municipal organizations. Two are being used in the Gores, Govek and Krnica regions.
The Russian-Serbian humanitarian center was set up on April 25 2012. It has ample means at its disposal to deal with emergencies. The power plants, handed over to Slovenia, had been supplied by the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and kept at the Center's storage facility.
