In 2008 government had failed to fully finance anti-flooding measures
Presidential Secretariat Head
Viktor Baloha stressed that at the moment it is badly needed that the
Government should work up a special state programe for establishing
within 7-8 years an infrastructure to prepare for the disaster
beforehand. The matter concerns a need to construct new dams, water
protection structures, construction of bridges and development of the
road-transport infrastructure, as well as taking anti-landslide
measures and development of efficient system for forest protection and
forest plantation."In the opinion of Presidential Secretariat
Head, the demonstration of extreme efforts on the elimination of the
[flood] aftermath does not cost anything, if the necessary measures
were not taken to avoid the tragedy.
