Deputy Interior Minister Nikolay Nikolov visited the Rakovitsa neighborhood in Berkovitsa and inspected the damage from the torrential rain yesterday, when over 20 liters per square meter fell in 20 minutes.

He gave a good assessment of the reaction of the local government, which quickly unclogged a plug on the Rakovishka River and prevented a greater disaster.

Nikolov said that the damage to the infrastructure is great, but it is happy that no people have been killed and injured.
