Vucic said the Serbian electricity system suffered the most damage in the flood, with Serbia alone losing 200 million euros.

In addition, Serbia is producing less electricity, so each day damages from 500,000 to 1 million euros.

Mr. Vucic stated that the repair of road infrastructure will be implemented in the next 10 days. Meanwhile, housing repairs for people who need emergency implementation, those who lose their houses after flooding will be provided with temporary housing.

Heavy rains last week broke the banks of the Sava River and its tributaries, causing the country to sink many large areas and causing thousands of landslides. The number of people killed in the historic flood in this area is up to 49 cases. More than 100,000 people in Bosnia-Herzegovina have been evacuated, about 32,000 people in Serbia have to leave their homes, while 15,000 people in Croatia have to find shelter.

The Balkan region also faces the risk of outbreaks after flooding, as well as the dangers of landmines and ERW after the 1992-1995 civil war, which is now buried by floodwaters.
