Director of the Office for Reconstruction and Flood Relief Marko Blagojevic said after the signing that the damages in the Kolubara river basin in disastrous floods last year accounted for 60% of total damages in Serbia.

He noted that this study was part of a wider project to improve the resistance to respond to emergencies funded by the government of Japan and implemented by UNDP in partnership with the Office for Reconstruction and Flood Relief.
