28 Jun

28. Jun is a humanitarian organization with special United Nations consultative status aimed at improving the lives of those living in the Western Balkans post the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It was established by Serbian Canadian artist Filip Filipi in 2012 and is the only humanitarian organization operating in the Western Balkans to be recognized by the United Nations. 28. Jun is a member of the Forbes’s nonprofit council.
Disaster relief.
During the 2014 Southeastern Europe floods, 28. Jun airlifted 30,000 lbs of urgent humanitarian relief into Belgrade from Toronto. It was the largest airborne donation Serbia received by a non-state actor during the natural disaster. 28. Jun was a first responder to the earthquake in Krajina.
Medical.
In December 2019, anesthesia machines, portable X-ray units, ultrasound machines, EKG/ECG machines, and several tons of medical supplies, was delivered to the General Hospital in Prokuplje, Serbia. The donation, sent in partnership with American NGO "Supplies Over Seas", is one of the largest ever of its kind to the country, slightly surpassing the value of a shipment 28. Jun delivered to Niš, Serbia, in 2013.
Domestic violence and advocacy.
In October 2020, 28. Jun Women was launched to combat current issues of domestic violence and trafficking in the region. The NGO strives to provide direct assistance and resources to women’s shelters and single mothers while promoting positive role models to mentor young women in their life and career goals.
Response to Corona Virus SARS 2 (COVID-19).
As of 2020, $8.5 million in aid has been delivered to the Western Balkans. Exclusively for Frontal, in a joint interview, the Vice President for 28. Jun Snezana Dimitrijević talks about the work of the organization but also about how she found her calling by working to help vulnerable children.
----Dimitrijević:
A 4-year long initiative to deliver humanitarian and medical supplies was made possible by a generous donation from the Israeli advocacy organization StandWithUs:
United Nations consulting.
The organization was officially granted special consultative status on June 28 2018 by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), which consists of 19 member states, during a session of the Council in New York. Out of the estimated 10 million non-profit organizations only 4,500 of them have reached this level and this status. ECOSOC is the UN's main platform for addressing global economic, social and other related issues. The selection of 28 Jun is a recognition for the long-term humanitarian work in the former Yugoslavia. Granting this status enabled the organization to express expert opinion regarding the Western Balkans on important social and economic issues of the United Nations.

Over the years, the organization has been endorsed and directly supported by athletes, entertainers, entrepreneurs and other notable personalities such as Novak Djokovic.
Post Malone's DJ Smitty was awarded 28 Jun Humanitarian of the Year for 2019. 
Serbian singer Svetlana Raznatović, professionally known as Ceca, is also among the list of notable donors to the organization.
