Sandbag

BELGRADE – Water infrastructures destroyed by the heavy floods that hit Serbia recently need to be renewed as soon as possible as otherwise even mild precipitation can cause enormous damages, Goran Puzovic, director of the Srbijavode public enterprise, said Sunday.

BELGRADE – The River Sava broke through sandbag barriers in Obrenovac near Belgrade and an order was issued for a total evacuation, Serbia’s Emergency Situations Sector chief Predrag Maric said in the afternoon on Monday.

SABAC - The situation in Sabac is serious, but stable nonetheless, with all previously taken measures for protecting the town from the rain-swollen Sava River still in force, Boban Birmancevic from the Sabac emergency headquarters said on Monday.

SABAC - The city administration in Sabac said on Monday that two people had died in that municipality in western Serbia, most likely because they had not followed the evacuation order, so the authorities appealed to the citizens to comply with the instructions of the headquarters for emergencies because the situation with the river Sava was still critical, despite the dropping water level.
