SARAJEVO, August 22 (FENA) - The temporary unit of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been engaged since August 14 in the humanitarian mission of providing assistance to the civil authorities of the Republic of Slovenia, continued its activities on the rehabilitation of the Meža River bed in the region of the municipality of Prevalje.
The members of the temporary unit of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by Lieutenant Nemanja Avram, are actively transferring their rich experience in performing engineering works to representatives of the local community and other participants in the humanitarian operation to prevent, eliminate, mitigate and rehabilitate the consequences of floods in the threatened area, it was announced today from the Ministry of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
During the recent catastrophic floods that hit the Republic of Slovenia, the river overflowed and agricultural land was flooded at the Poljane location in the Prevalje municipality, and favorable weather conditions provided working conditions for members of all contingents participating in the humanitarian mission in the threatened area.
In the period from August 14 to 20, the engineering unit of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina worked on the rehabilitation of the Meža River bed, and on that occasion, the river bed was narrowed and returned to its former course, in a total area of 30,000 m2. About 1,000 m of the river bed was cleaned, and about 13,000 m3 of gravel was installed in the flooded area, on an area of 12,000 m2.
In the coming days, the units of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina will continue their activities in the area of engagement, moving towards the populated town of Prevalje, with the expectation that the weather conditions will allow the members of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina to continue their activities on the rehabilitation of endangered areas in the Republic of Slovenia.
