The water caused the most damage to the roads that had previously been damaged in the floods two weeks ago
Several roads are again only partly or occasionally passable
The access of local residents to healthcare and other necessities of life is thus severely restricted
After examining the situation in the affected areas
the Minister said that an engineering unit of the Slovenian Armed Forces would arrive on Monday with heavy machinery to repair the damaged roads and make them safe for use again
The Minister emphasised that the Ministry of Defence together with the Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief only implements intervention measures and thus provides the necessities of life in the affected area
It is important that we have responded swiftly and efficiently
As this is an example of a demographically endangered municipality with a small number of residents and a low municipal budget
the situation cannot be compared with that of any other municipality in Slovenia and it is crucial that we immediately tackle the remediation of damage caused by the flood
as the water again washed away the already repaired stretches of road infrastructure at certain sections that had been repaired after previous floods
the Minister expressed hope that the serviceability of all roads will be enabled by the end of the year
which is possible if we work together and invest additional funds in the restoration of the transport infrastructure
The key role in this will be played by the Slovenian Infrastructure Agency
water managers and all other services that may help in the elimination of damage after the floods
especially when cleaning riverbeds and deposits
or they will not even occur in certain sections
also expressed hope that the remediation would be swift and take place immediately
Certain roads are barely serviceable today
making the appeal to the Ministry of Infrastructure for assistance in the restoration of the infrastructure destroyed justifiable
The Mayor thanked the Ministry of Defence for the prompt response and deployment of the Slovenian Armed Forces
which have helped already during the previous flood
She further stressed that the residents do not have access to heavy machinery to provide help
so the state’s swift and efficient assistance is exceptionally important
the Minister also examined the situation in the municipalities of Kostel and Črnomelj

the highlight of which is the "Red Bull No Paws Down" event
In this competitors can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h as they hurtle downhill
and if they’re lucky no other parts of their bodies either
There are many videos online showing you the action
but we’re posting this one for two reasons
carries out a flawless run in which he stands up much of the way
rather than kneeling down in prayer for his life
and second because the soundtrack is New Order’s deathless Blue Monday.
