Norway will now provide NOK 60 million in humanitarian assistance and support for strengthening the refugee reception system,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende. 
Norge vil nå bidra med 60 millioner kroner til nødhjelp og styrking av mottaksapparatet, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The refugee situation in Serbia, and in Europe as a whole, was at the top of the agenda when Mr Brende visited Serbia last week. 
Flyktningsituasjonen i Serbia og Europa stod øverst på agendaen da utenriksministeren besøkte Serbia forrige uke.
Serbia and Macedonia have become buffer countries between the Schengen Area and Greece and Hungary. 
Serbia og Makedonia er blitt bufferland mellom Schengen-landene Hellas og Ungarn.
Most of the refugees who are now travelling through Serbia along the Balkan route were hoping to pass through Hungary to Germany. 
Flesteparten av flyktningene som nå reiser gjennom Serbia langs den såkalte Balkan-ruten, ønsker å reise videre gjennom Ungarn til Tyskland.
As Hungary has introduced stricter measures at the Serbian border, it is expected that the situation in Serbia will become considerably more difficult in the time ahead. 
Ettersom Ungarn har innført strengere tiltak for flyktninger ved grensen mot Serbia, antas det at situasjonen i Serbia vil bli betydelig forverret i tiden fremover.
‘The refugee situation is a shared European challenge that affects us all. 
- Flyktningsituasjonen er en felles europeisk utfordring som angår oss alle.
Both Norway and Serbia want to contribute to a coordinated European policy in this area,’ said Mr Brende. 
Både Norge og Serbia ønsker å bidra i en samordnet europeisk politikk på dette området, sier Brende.

“The work being done in poor countries by aid organisations like the Norwegian Refugee Council is essential.

They help people where they are and are doing an invaluable job. 
De hjelper folk der de er, og betydningen av jobben de gjør er enorm.
“Aid workers in the Horn of Africa are at risk, and there are many examples of threats and violence against people who are trying to help others. 
- Hjelpearbeidere på Afrikas Horn er utsatt og det er mange eksempler på både trusler og vold mot de som jobber for å hjelpe andre.
Our thoughts go to the family of the Kenyan driver who was killed when the aid workers were abducted,” said Mr Støre. 
Våre tanker går til de etterlatte til den kenyanske sjåføren som ble drept da bortføringen fant sted, sier utenriksministeren.
