After this devastating earthquake, it has often been discussed whether Kosovo can be endangered by these phenomena.
Shemsi Mustafa from the Seismic Institute of Kosovo has indicated whether Kosovo can be hit by earthquakes.
Mustafa said that considering the percentage probability according to the map of seismic risk, Kosovo could be hit by earthquakes every five years.
In our agency, we are two seismologists, so our capacity for study is also very limited. It's an obligation to do microsism research, especially in urban areas where construction is planned to become high. 5.0, 5.5 degrees of richer is among the average. In fact, Kosovo was hit by three earthquakes, in 2002, the earthquake struck Gjilan, Istog in 2010. This indicates that within 13 years in Kosovo, three quakes of up to 5.7 levels of riciterre occurred in Kosovo that the map suggests that the probability of these events, every 5 years, earthquakes in Kosovo can occur at a rate of 72%, but if we take this, it actually came out a hundred percent, Mustafa said of the Insider.
