"Now we are witnessing extreme weather conditions in June due to a strong heat wave, which led to favorable conditions for fires, but this is no longer a justification for our country, because we know that this is a big risk, just as we know that there will be more frequent water shortages and greater risks to health: However, state institutions do not have the will and understanding to implement the adopted measures and to invest in further scientific research that can contribute to reducing these risks in the future. Our experts see that their hands are tied to do anything in this country", points out Vuković Vimić. [caption id="attachment_4921628" align="alignnone" width="1600"]View this post on Instagram
"Although there were warnings for people to take care because fires can easily spread, I believe, although I have no evidence of this, and there is no control on the ground, that some fires were, perhaps unintentionally, started by people. What is critical - we knew that we were as flammable as a match in this period. So many fires are not usual, we are not an area where the weather conditions are suitable for so many fires. However, it is known that due to climate change, the period of weather conditions will increase in the coming decades suitable for fire outbreaks. By the middle of the century, we will have an average of three months a year that will be at a high risk of fire outbreaks. Currently, there is an average of one month per year, July, and in the future it will also be June and August, as if we are the most critical parts of Greece and Turkey," warns Vuković.
