The storm that engulfed the municipality of Nikšić brought the firefighters-rescuers a lot of work.

According to Slavko Tadić, commander of the Protection and Rescue Service, during the evening they had a dozen interventions.

"It was mainly about pumping water from the basements and garages of our fellow citizens. The situation is more favorable this morning," Tadic said.

This morning, they continued the search for a missing male person in the Bistrica and Zeta rivers.

Tadić points out that the water level of the Zeta River is approaching the maximum from November 2019, when it was 257 cm at the measuring point Most na Duklo.

"This morning the water level is 237 cm, so we appeal to our fellow citizens who go around the riverbeds on their own to take care and not put their lives at risk. Specialized teams of firefighters-rescuers from Nikšić for actions in fast waters, in coordination with divers from the Bijela Regional Center and SAJ are doing everything in their power," said Tadić.
