Belgrade, March 6, 2004 - The Serbian government paid special attention at its session today to the assessment of the consequences of a devastating fire that caught the Hilandar monastery on March 4, and decided to help it with the first one-off aid, worth 10 million dinars. It was decided that the ministries of culture, religion, and finance work out a plan for a long-term financial and professional assistance to the reconstruction of the monastery.
