Several houses and roads were flooded on Friday in northern Montenegro after two rivers burst their banks following heavy rains over the past two days.

The mayor of the municipality of Shavnik, Jugoslav Jakiq, said that two rivers burst their banks in the part of the Komarnica Nature Park, in the north of the country.

He shared footage on social media showing swollen rivers and flooded houses around.

As a result of the floods, traffic in some villages of this municipality was interrupted.

Heavy rains have increased the level of rivers in the central part of the country.

The level of the Moraca River in Podgorica has increased by 7.5 meters, while that of the Zeta River in Danilovgrad by 5.5 meters, the Hydrometeorological Institute of Montenegro told Radio Free Europe.

Due to the heavy rains, traffic has been interrupted on two bridges and on a road in Danilovgrad, about 20 kilometers from Podgorica.

On the banks of Moraca and Ribnica in Podgorica, the beach bars along these two rivers have been flooded.

Heavy rain caused traffic problems, while strong winds uprooted trees.

The Montenegrin institute had earlier issued a red weather alert on October 3, warning of heavy rainfall conditions.

Afterwards, the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro recommended that citizens prepare for disasters and secure their property, especially if they live in areas at risk of flooding or strong winds.

They called on citizens to avoid travel if not necessary, especially in mountainous areas and areas at risk of landslides./ REL
