As citizens and authorities across BiH face the worst flooding in recent history, EU Special Representative Peter Sorensen issued a statement stressing that Europe would “spare no effort in the short or long term” to help the country recover.
“Bosnia and Herzegovina will not be left alone. The EU is fully and actively committed to supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina to tackle the short and long term consequences. We have responded immediately to the requests of the Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities as they have come in to the European Commission Emergency Response Coordination Centre. An EU Civil Protection Team has been deployed and is at work making the initial assessments. The European Commission is providing satellite imagery of the flooded areas to the relevant authorities and is co-financing the transport of aid.”
