Prime Minister Robert Golob said at the National Assembly today that the direct damage caused by the early August floods was currently estimated at EUR 4.7 billion.

However, he noted that up to EUR 7 billion would be allocated for the reconstruction of the affected areas in the next five years.

He said the aim was to restore these areas to their previous state and to rehabilitate to the extent where they will be more resistant to similar natural disasters.
