Skopje, 26 January 2022 (MIA) – The Crisis Management Center (CMC) warns citizens to stay away from a rock slope on the right bank of the riverbed (lake) in the Matka Canyon, as it will be marked as a risk zone where movement will be restricted. The conclusion was adopted at a working meeting on Wednesday chaired by CMC head Stojanche Angelov, with representatives of institutions, national experts, as well as representatives of the crisis management system in attendance. Participants in the meeting said the situation with the rock slope on Matka was unsustainable in the long-run. The rock has low stability which requires taking measures and activities to prevent and minimize hazard. There is a risk of rock slope failure (landslide) or or impact and pressure wave into the water. The CMC said it will officially initiate preparation of a project action plan.
