Kosovo’s Border Management Agency (BMA) has confirmed that the current flood situation across the country remains manageable, although localized flooding has been reported in several municipalities.
According to the agency, the most affected areas include Fushë Kosova, Drenas, Malisheva, Rahovec, Klina, Mitrovica, Vushtrri, Skenderaj, and Gjakova, where flooding has impacted courtyards, basements, and certain roads.
Evacuation Request in Gjakova
The BMA announced that in Gjakova, authorities have requested assistance to evacuate more than 20 families, in coordination with the Kosovo Security Force (KSF).
“In most other municipalities, the situation is relatively calm and stable and remains under continuous monitoring. All Civil Protection and Rescue teams are deployed in the field, and the situation is being closely monitored through the Emergency Management Agency’s communication system,” the agency stated.
Emergency Teams on High Alert
The Emergency Management Agency, along with civil protection units, remains fully engaged, continuously assessing conditions on the ground as rainfall and rising water levels pose ongoing risks in vulnerable areas.
Public Safety Appeal
The Border Management Agency has issued a strong appeal to citizens to:
- Avoid crossing flooded areas,
- Report any potential dangers immediately, and
- Rely exclusively on official announcements and guidance from relevant institutions.
Authorities stressed that public cooperation and vigilance are essential to prevent injuries, material damage, and further escalation of the situation as emergency services continue their response.
