Heavy cloudfalls of rain last night and today have caused difficulties in the road flow in parts of Kosovo, while several subpasses have been temporarily blocked in Pristina. Problems and material damage have also been reported to Yunik and Decani. The Hydromeorological Institute warns rainfall in the days ahead.
As a result of the rainfall, the underpass near the bus station in Pristina was difficult to pass on Saturday. The vast quantity of water created difficulties in traffic flow, causing traffic expectations.
Problems were reported at another underpass in Dardania, where its deadlock was reported during morning hours, unable to get around.
The director for Security and Emergency in Pristina, Lulzim Fushtica, said large damages were not reported in the capital, while added that the responsible teams have been exiled to some parts of the city.
There weren’t any, but we’ve had problems with a few roads where we usually have problems during heavy rainfall. One is the magistrate’s route, which comes from Mitrovica, runs through the capital at the bus station, the mall, and goes on. That’s a magical way that’s in the power of the ministry. And that road was blocked and we received information from the Kosovo police this morning about this problem. We’ve also had us on the street ‘%Agim Ramadani, he said.
Meanwhile, Besimi Aliu from Kosovo’s Hydrometeorology Institute has indicated that even in the coming days there will be rainfall.
The other days we’ll have rain again, but maximum temperatures won’t exceed 16 degrees Celsius. We’re also supposed to have solar intervals. At the moment, the meteorological situation is stable, he stressed.
As a result of rainfall and wind, material damage has been reported. In some areas electric poles and oaks have been collapsed along major roads, causing other problems. Among the most affected municipalities were Yunik and Decani reported.
On Saturday, however, the situation was more relaxed and manageable.
In early January of this year, several Kosovo municipalities faced floods as a result of heavy rainfall, which caused major damage to residents.
