Saturday's floods in Pec caused major damage at home and businesses.

Valentina Dressey Hajrizi, who owns a store in the neighborhood “Czech “, shows that the damage caused in the family business is huge.

She says there is nothing she can save because of torrential rain and hail.

The “Dations are very large because as we know before Bayram we're very much supplied that now it's a party, but it's all gone but you can see there's nothing left. The damage is huge, we are now waiting for what the state is doing for us”, Dreshai-Hajriz said.

According to her, from Saturday evening until noon, there has been no one from the municipality to deal with the damage caused.

There's been a lot of damage here, only last night was a very large water level, we've been up here before morning, but there's not until the water itself and the rain stopped, we couldn't do anything, says she.

Residents say they made a request three years ago to fix the path “Azem Bata” of this neighbourhood, but according to them, nothing has been taken.

It started to collapse, and when it collapsed, and it's ready for further flooding, it means nothing like these damage you're seeing or what you've seen up to today, it's a huge damage that has ended up even with a unfortunately”, said Blerim Hasani, a resident.

Adem Tahiri has been responsible for municipal leaders since the post-war situation.

Postwar “from here they have not taken adequate measures, and this is repeated several times. You shut down a place when you get out of the street and you're taking the whole town. This disaster has swept the city center. Last night I was at the center of the whole city, all those stores, all the coffee he's had, all he's taken away from them, so it's a total disaster”, said Adam Tahiri, resident.

Peja Community spokesman Faik Zekaj stressed that the material damage is enormous.

“Ekips are from evening to field, we've been up to 4 o'clock in this area at 3:30. The teams are in the field now and now working as you can see, they're remote in different parts where there's greater demand, but we've had primary neighborhoods with the Italian Chesjaan and in Fidanishte, the main road where there's been brought from the top”, Zeqaj said.

According to Zekij, the assessment of the damages will be made and in co-operation with the central level will be brought to the aid of residents.
