States of emergency end in several municipalities

BELGRADE – The Serbian emergency headquarters has lifted states of emergency in several municipalities in Serbia affected by the massive flooding in May, but they remain in effect in five most badly hit municipalities.

Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic has said in a release that states of emergency are still in place in the Belgrade municipality of Obrenovac and in the municipalities of Bajina Basta, Ljubovija, Krupanj and Mali Zvornik in western Serbia.

Leaving these decisions in place in these areas should contribute to post-disaster management efficiency, Stefanovic said.

“We are doing this to help people perform rehabilitation tasks faster,” Stefanovic said.
