Emergency Management Agency says there was no major damage.
The responsibility for International Relations and Public Relations at the Agency for Emergency Management, Nehat Kocinaj, told Kosovo that the region of Gjilan and Pristina has been the most hit, while problems have also been recorded in the Mitrovica and Ferizaj region.
“There was a part of Gjilan on the first day, the Gjilan region, then the Pristina region or the town of Pristina was hit mainly by a quick downpour in the time but large quantities and seen as a result of the pipes or escort infrastructure, there was no chance of conveying and not reflecting on the contrary simply exits from the wells, which was not only a case in Pristina, but was also in some other settlements, if in Vushtrri, whether in Kushto Mitrovica or in Feraj, but other white luck, but that these were not relevant for a period of time in Pristina, which he would say the greatest consequences of the day.
Kocinaj said the damages identified so far are more of a technical nature, mainly water collection infrastructure.
The “Dations identified so far are more of the technical nature that falls within reach of the capacity to gather water and transmit both in urban planning locations or locations, and once again urban development out of control according to all likelihood, and do not contain at least sustainable standards in the sense of confronting or predicting the understanding of rising water quantities in the short period of”, Kocinaj said.
According to Kosovo Emergency Management Agency and Hydrometeorology Institute data, the threat to floods does not exist, but does not exist. The AME says that the threat is permanent even in the days to come.
“Forecasts by the Hydrometeorological Institute are that rivers have not suffered significant increases but are in normal quotas, and in the next few days no rise is expected to result in floods or exits from bed. So the threat of flooding doesn't exist, but the threat is permanent in the days ahead by the downpours that can hit specific locations from the ecological discharges that arise in these weather conditions and can do harm if they strike human life or in life that it will end. So strong winds, rain showers, and atmospheric emptyings have been a phenomenon and can also guide us in the days ahead, he says.
