Stefanović said that save for a critical landslide in Mali Zvornik, and for Obrenovac, where a third of the town remains flooded, the situation elsewhere in the country was "moving towards normalization."

The minister also said that work was being done to create conditions for the return of evacuees to their homes, and that relevant ministries were giving instructions in order to avoid "unwanted consequences," such as outbreaks of infectious diseases.
