But they have not shown which agricultural culture has been largely damaged within this period. And from the recent August floods, damage in the Suhareka municipality amounts to 6.6m euros, including damage to infrastructure and family economies.
The ministry has no emergency funds, which would compensate for damaged farmers. Evental assistance is done with immediate decisions by the Government of Kosovo. One is taken on August 22nd for those injured in Suhareka.
Kosovo's has allocated 1.1m euros, which will be used for public municipal services, road infrastructure and in subsidies and transfers of this municipality.
