Velika Kladusa: State of natural disaster declared

In Velika Kladusa, the Kladusnica River has reached a level of 204 cm, overflowing in multiple locations. The most critical situation is on the Drmaljevo – Trnovi road, where water has cut off the only access route to the local animal shelter. The rising Glinica River is further worsening the situation.

"All available services are engaged, and we are continuously monitoring the situation," Horvat emphasized, urging citizens to remain cautious and follow official instructions.
