Initiative in favour of Serbian children with difficult pathologies

The Order of Malta has more than 900 years of history of assistance to the poor, the weak and the sick. In Serbia the Embassy of the Sovereign Order of Malta in Belgrade, has promoted various humanitarian initiatives together with programs of instruction and formation.
