Seismologist shows whether there can be more powerful earthquakes in Kosovo, after someone shaking Gjilan

Mustafa has made it known that the earthquake's epicentre was in Malisheva but that the region of Gjilan has also felt.

This term tells us that even in the past this area has been hit by earthquakes, it's hit even now, but in the future it can be hit because in 2002 it was this area that generated a powerful earthquake of 5.7 degrees of Rifter”, Mustafa tells Dukagjin.

“Based on studies based on historical catalogue, based on topography, based on the latest technology and the latest project or research that has been done, shows that this area could have even greater power earthquakes”, Mustafa said.

Based on the latest studies done in harmonizing seismic risk in, this area describes an active tectonic secession and can generate earthquakes with a maximum magnitude of up to 6.5 degrees of Richter. This is a parameter of great importance to the builders of the area because any construction that is being done should be consistent with a possible” earthquake, he stressed.
