Dear Citizens,
As a result of monitoring the fire situation in Prevallë and after consultations with all relevant actors, including KFOR, it was assessed that to prevent the further spread of the fire, intervention from the air was necessary.
We are grateful and appreciative not only to KFOR but also to all other contributors who helped, first to manage and then to extinguish the fire.
Thanks to the emergency team established by the Directorate of Emergency and Security of the Municipality of Prizren, especially the Prizren firefighters who continuously monitored the situation throughout.
