Summary
During the May 2014 devastating floods, 57 people lost their lives, while approximately 32,000 had to leave their homes. The losses incurred in only a few days caused damage in 119 Serbian local self-governments. The European Union was among the first donors, sending rescue teams and humanitarian assistance. Solidarity contributions from the EU, by far the largest donor to Serbia, helped with a total of EUR 172 million.
Heavy rains activated approximately 2,000 landslides, causing destruction of infrastructure. Although clean-up works, organized immediately after the floods, enabled opening of the roads, the existing landslides' reactivation and the risk of new structure breakdowns required an effective solution for unstable areas. In order to establish normal transport between Krupanj and Loznica for 547,500 passengers annually, the European Union supported the reconstruction of the 12-kilometre regional road Korenita-Krupanj and two bridges in Kraljevo, in the first phase.Detailed information
