"The water at the mini-hydro power plant in the town of Banjski Camac has spilled onto the main road leading to Priboj. This is a black spot when it comes to the river overflowing in our territory, and because of the lower terrain there is often flooding. At the moment, passage is only possible with off-road vehicles," Dragan Ljeljen, a member of the municipal council, told RINA.

He added that if heavy rainfall continues to drain into the riverbed, it could cause bigger problems.

"The Lim, which has been rising in recent hours, threatens the wood houses located in the river basin," says Ljeljen.

The Lim River's water is rising is due to heavy rainfall in neighboring Montenegro, and an emergency situation has been declared in Prijepolje because of the danger of flooding.
