Prime Minister Albin Kurti has not stopped in Skenderaj today where since yesterday, the most apocalypseic images are coming from the floods, but he also went to Istog City with severe consequences because of the floods.
In the announcement that the prime minister has written on Facebook, he ultimately blames past governments, indicating that the floods are also the result of shore damage and river beds, and continues on beyond Kurti paragraph:
“Detailing the banks and river beds from the wild explosion of gravel, illegal cutting down of forests over the years, and lack of foresting projects, inadequate channeling and irrigation systems, as well as global climate change have facilitated, frequented the floods of settlements from the stream”.
This morning's full announcement from Kurt's Facebook account:
Along with Defence Minister Andmend Mehaj and Local Power Management Elbert Krasniqi, we visited about 20 members of the KSF, who in a military truck and floating boats, are doing their best to help residents of the village of Dree, in Istog. There, at the “Bridge in Drele”, on the Kujavc River, was hosted by the mayor of Ilir Ferati, who informed us of the plight yesterday and today. Then we went together to the Main Centre of Family Medicine, where we visited two families evacuated from Zalqi: Arton and Luljeta Jahhajen with four young children, and Avd and Floreta Jahajen with two young children. In addition to considerable material damage, we have no citizens dead or hurt. Even Kline, Peja and Gjakova, as well as Mitrovica, Skenderaj and Podujevo, have suffered damage.
The government of the Republic of Kosovo and all state institutions stand by the residents of the municipalities where there were floods, helping and supporting them.
The damage to banks and river beds from the wild explosion of gravel, the illegal cutting of forests over the years, and the lack of foresting projects, inadequate sewer and irrigation systems, as well as global climate change have facilitated, accelerated and frequently floods of settlements from floods. /Periscopi
