Due to weeks-long water shortage in Majority Serb villages of Susica and Novi Badovac, in central Kosmet, there is the threat of epidemics and humanitarian catastrophe, reports the Press Center in Gracanica.

These days the chronic water shortage has culminated. Because of the restrictions imposed by the Regional Water Supply center in Pristina, the two aforementioned villages have been without water for 20 days now, reads the communiqué.

The inhabitants are searching for the water in natural springs, kilometers away, in order to fill couple of containers, since the restrictions have included Gracanica and other villages of the central Kosmet.

The citizens have announced the blockade on the regional road Pristina-Janjevo, unless the water is provided soon.

They are especially bitter towards the municipality of Pristina, UNMIK's office in Gracanica and representatives of the regional water supply company, who have recently enabled the construction of the supply line to Susica, but the problem has not been resolved due to technical omissions.
