Serbia: 'Prevention only way to fight flooding'

"The state has to invest much more money in regular maintenance of water management facilities and canals network and an adequate prevention could have lessened the consequences of the past two days" flooding by up to 70 percent, directors of water management enterprises and members of the PKS Water Management Association told Inserbia News. 

Representatives of Serbian water management companies added that not enough has been done in flood prevention in the last 10 years and that, according to them, the state should allocate more funds for regular maintenance and consider investing in water flow regulation to prevent natural disasters.
