Kurt goes to the flooded Istog: Standing by the Residents

He has made it known that the Kosovo government and all state institutions stand by the residents of municipalities where there were floods helping and supporting them.

“Baska with Defence Minister Armend Mehaj and Local Power Management Elbert Krasniqi visited about 20 KSF members who in a military truck and floating boats are doing their best to help residents of Dress village in Istog. There, at “The bridge in Drele”, on the Kujavc River, hosted 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. Cline, 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 municipalities where there were floods helping and supporting them”.

According to him, damage to banks and river beds from the wild explosion of gravel, illegal logging of forests over the years, and a 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.
