Ohrid Region Hit by Heavy Rainfalls and Hailstorm

The South-Western parts of the country, mainly the area around Ohrid, was affected by great
rainfalls and hail with the size of a walnut, which also resulted in floods, and caused serious
damages to housing and business objects and vehicles, as well as agricultural fields and
orchards. The Municipality of Ohrid held an urgent meeting over the situation, and informed
that the citizens can report to them any damages over their real estates and agricultural
premises as late as 30 June 2023. “Teams of the communal enterprises are currently working
to put some of the streets back in function, as well as to pump out water from objects that
have been flooded. We remain on terrain until all damages have been repaired,” said Ohrid
Mayor Kiril Pecakov.
