The flows of the Vjosa River in the village of Kashisht in Fier have reached a critical point.
According to residents, from this morning until noon the level has risen by over 1 meter, becoming a real risk for flooding agricultural lands.
With this intensity of flows, the risk of overflowing the riverbed is very high, they say, while emphasizing that they have not seen such a level of flows in 4 years.
"We are scared," say the residents, as the river has not caused any problems in the area for years, as they are monitoring the situation with alarm hour by hour. Meanwhile, the afternoon hours remain crucial, when high-intensity rainfall and large flows are expected that could create problematic situations.
According to the administrator of the Frakull administrative unit, Emiljano Braka, residents were notified in the early hours of the morning about the risk of flooding, and he stressed that if the river overflowed its banks, the damage that would be caused to farmers would be colossal.
Meanwhile, farmers are monitoring the situation on the ground with alarm. One of them claims that if Vjosa rises above its banks, it will be a real monster.
"We have a bitter experience from previous floods," he says, "where not only was there damage, but we were never compensated. We pray to God that there will be no floods, as it would take us two years to recover," says one of the residents.
