"Hailstones the size of a tennis ball struck populated areas, causing in some places 100 percent damage to raspberry, blackberry orchards, corn, wheat, vegetables and other agricultural crops. Hail and the storm also caused huge damage on residential and auxiliary buildings, breaking roofs and windows. Numerous greenhouses and hamlet roads were also destroyed," Milivoje Dolovic, the president of the municipality of Lucani, stressed in a statement for RINA.

The most critical situation is in the villages of Turica, Puhovo, Vica, Goracici, Dragacica, Rasovac, Doi and Gornji Dubac, Kaona, Ziviica, Markovica, Ducalovici,, Rti, Dljin and the area of Guca and the Lucane.

"Yesterday alone, as many as 78 anti-hail missiles were fired, which still failed to break the hail clouds and reduce the amount of damage. Since the beginning of the year, the municipality of Lucani has fired 186 anti-hail missiles during numerous hailstorms," says President Dolovic.

Two commissions have been formed, which will immediately start making an inventory of the damage, especially on housing, auxiliary facilities and road infrastructure, in order to start the renovation and protect homes from new rainfall that is expected in the coming summer days. All citizens who suffered damage can report it to the registry office of the Municipal Administration in Lucani and Guca.
