TIRANA, August 5 – President Bajram Begaj has expressed solidarity for the floods in Slovenia.
“I express my solidarity to President Musar and the people of Slovenia affected by the catastrophic floods,” Begaj said in a post on social networks on Saturday.
“Our prayers are with them during this difficult time. We hope for a quick recovery,” he said.
At least three people have died as a result of heavy rain and flooding in Slovenia as continuing extreme weather prompts the EU to issue warnings for several countries over the weekend.
Torrential rains and heavy floods swept through regions of Slovenia on Friday, killing at least three people, cutting off roads and bridges and surging into buildings. The prime minister described the devastation as “catastrophic.”
Slovenian police told the official STA news agency that a Slovenian woman died in the central town of Kamnik, where overnight flooding blocked roads and authorities closed kindergartens for the day. Two Dutch nationals died in a mountainous area near the city of Kranj. /argumentum.al
