The Municipality of Prishtina has issued a warning of moderate to strong winds expected from Saturday morning, based on forecasts from the Kosovo Hydrometeorological Institute (IHMK). The strongest winds are expected in eastern and hilly–mountainous areas, including parts of Gollak, though urban areas of the capital may also be affected.
Speaking to Klan Kosova, the Director of Security and Emergencies in Prishtina, Lulzim Fushtica, confirmed that municipal authorities are already taking preventive measures.
“According to forecasts, strong and moderately strong winds may occur across the territory of the capital, including rural areas. The strongest winds are expected in the eastern part of Prishtina, but this does not exclude the possibility of strong winds in the city itself,” Fushtica said.
He further announced that municipal emergency teams are already on the ground, inspecting buildings that pose potential risks. “Our teams have begun inspections, particularly of buildings where facades or roof elements could fall. We intervened this morning in Dardania and are continuing operations in other parts of the city,” he added.
Fushtica urged citizens to remain calm and avoid panic, emphasizing that such warnings should be treated as a normal preventive measure issued to ensure public safety.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and have called on residents to exercise caution, particularly in exposed areas.
