The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was able to contact the last Dutch people in Slovenia who could not be reached after the storm in the country
The acute problems for Dutch nationals from the storm area in Slovenia seem to have been solved
according to a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
85 Dutch nationals staying in the area will be evacuated by bus
Some Dutch nationals have not yet been contacted
but that is probably because their phones are not charged or they cannot get a connection
Most of the affected Dutch have been housed in a school in Rečica ob Savinji
The majority of the Dutch tourists have since returned home

Embassy staff who were in the area witnessed the massive damage caused by the heavy rains and resulting flooding and reported overturned caravans at campsites
Slovenia is a popular vacation destination for the Dutch
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have an overview of the number of Dutch nationals in Slovenia
This is because it is an EU member state where they can travel without border controls
not everyone follows the advice to report to the embassy via an app that they are in the country
Four people have died in the storms in Slovenia
Among them are two Dutch citizens from Gouda
and energy infrastructure in the affected area were severely damaged
Rescue services in Slovenia also had their hands full on Sunday to deal with the aftermath of the storm
Rescue workers had to go out Saturday night to pump out water
remove fallen trees and deliver emergency supplies
there are also warnings of possible landslides
at least 110 people had to be brought to safety near Koroška Bela and elsewhere in the border region with Austria
around 500 residents had been evacuated on Saturday evening after a dam burst

Hundreds of Dutch people were also temporarily evacuated in storm-hit Slovenia
They were able to spend the night in sports halls or schools
Many of them have since returned to their campsites
tour operator manager Pieter Melieste of ACSI Kampeerreizen said
His company has about 200 campers in the area
but he knows there are many more Dutch people
and Slovenia is quite popular with the Dutch
I know from one of the largest campgrounds there that there are about 2,000 guests
More than half of them are Dutch," Melieste said after reporting by NOS
Most of the guests at that campsite have since returned
They may also have packed their bags and moved on to another area already
the damage appears to be much more extensive
"A lot of tents and equipment and possibly cars have been lost there." Returning to the campground to continue the vacation there is not possible
He advises vacationers with damage to contact their insurers
Of the 200 people who have booked through ACSI
"But we have not yet been able to contact everyone personally"
emergency services received nearly 4,000 calls from people in distress
Among them were vacationers struggling because of the floods
The flooding was so severe that there is not much left of most campsites that were located near rivers
Slovenia has been hit by heavy rain and flooding since Thursday evening
Several villages in the affected area are cut off from the outside world by the water
it was announced that two Dutch citizens from Gouda died in the country
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that five Dutch nationals had also been reported missing
These were mainly reports from family members who were unable to make contact with Dutch nationals living in Slovenia
