A month ago, Vlora was under water, marking the biggest floods that have ever happened in the city.
Now it seems that the situation has returned to normality, but the consequences of the damage are great.
Many homes and businesses were flooded and the damages reached millions of lek, despite the promises that they will be compensated, this has not happened yet.
The director of civil emergencies, Adrian Vreshtazi, said that the Municipality of Vlora has a fund of 17 million alleks for compensation from natural disasters, but the floods have caused around 60 million alleks of damage.
"The municipality of Vlora has a fund for compensation from natural disasters and this fund is 17 million ALL, while from the calculations for compensation for damages, about 60 million new ALL are needed, which will be received by the government, while until the approval of it takes 2 months for the funds to go to help the residents", said Vreshtazi.
While the prefect of Vlora, Kristo Kiço, said that the municipality does not have all the funds for compensation, but the prefecture will take care of fixing the sewers.
"In order to compensate the family members, we as a prefecture are in negotiations with the government, since the municipality of Vlora does not have all the funds. We, as a prefecture, must do the work to fix the high water channels, cleaning, but also the demolition of constructions without permission", said Kiço.
The floods in Vlora caused great material damage to the residents. Now, 1 month after the natural disaster, they are waiting for compensation from the natural disasters.
