Advice to citizens: Do not approach the riverbed and bridges, pay attention to children and the elderly

(Patria) - The Mountain Rescue Service (GSS) Prenj announces that they are on standby due to the rising water level of the Neretva River, warning of possible dangers of its overflow.

As they say, due to heavy rainfall, there has been a significant increase in the water level of the Neretva River, which poses a real danger of overflow, strong river currents, and bank collapses.

They recommend that citizens do not approach the riverbed and bridges, do not stay by the riverbank, and do not enter the water, and do not attempt to cross flooded areas on foot or by vehicle.

In addition, they advise them to pay special attention to children and the elderly, and to follow official warnings from the competent services and act responsibly.
