Niko Peleshi, the Minister of Defense, made the announcement and also posted a video on Facebook.
"In readiness to support the residents of some of the municipalities in Kosovo that have been affected by floods as a result of heavy rains in the past days, forces and tools from the FA have been deployed in Kuks. In the event that the situation deteriorates, prepared to intervene in coordination with the authorities in Kosovo. With our brothers in good and bad times," Peleshi wrote.
Armend Mehaj, Kosovo's Minister of Defense, got in touch with Peleshi a few days ago after the Klos earthquake to say that he was ready to help in any way he could.
Heavy rains caused flooding in a number of Kosovo cities. According to reports, Skenderaj is the city most affected by the floods, and the local authorities have declared a state of emergency there. Additionally, there have been issues in Vushtri, Peja, and other parts of the country.
