The American ambassador, who did not hesitate for an instance, gladly put on a glove  and picked up garbage, calling on all citizens of Serbia today, and in the days to come to show their solidarity and help protect the planet.

- The citizens of Serbia do not hesitate to volunteer and they've demonstrated this best during their rescue operations in Obrenovac during last year's floods. It would be good that in the future citizens come together to solve problems.
