"There was a general awareness in the countries affected that there would be problems, but the magnitude has caught everyone unawares," ICPDR executive secretary Peter Weller was quoted as saying Wednesday, referring to the three Balkan countries.
"Postojala je opća svijest u zemljama koje su pogođene kako će biti problema, ali je opseg poplava zatekao sve", izjavio je u srijedu izvršni tajnik ICPDR-a Peter Weller govoreći o trima balkanskim zemljama.
