He is talking nonsense? I am pasting you below link from government meeting when help was asked and it was on 15th this month. Russians were here on 16th with full equipment and with delay because EU member was stopping them to come. I hope you know where is Russia and where is EU , right?

In case you think I am hacking and changing dates on sites, I will paste you one more link:

I will repeat once again: In moment while Russians were already on the field, EU told they didn't get any request. Simple as that (while Slovenians told they are coming soon).
Stating that help was on the way 36 hours after request was recieved, is just trying to make things look better. Except being slow and much closer then RU, EU told they didn't get any call for help (but somehow Slovenians and Russians did it).
That is all what I am talking about and I am not denying value of anyone help or trying to disparage. Just stating facts and that is that media coverage was low, EU didn't give a shit and reacted days later. (non eu members like montenegro,FYROM were faster then EU, too).
