In late July 2026 Kosovo’s Emergency Management Agency (AME) reported that the heavy rains of 27 July had subsided, with water levels receding and the overall situation across the country deemed stable and manageable. Response teams cleared flood‑affected roads, assisted residents in the Gjakovë‑Rahovec, Prizren‑Suharekë and Pristina areas, and coordinated with police and municipal authorities to maintain continuous monitoring.

A week later, AME shifted focus to the emerging heat wave, warning that soaring temperatures heightened the risk of uncontrolled fires in fields and forests. The agency urged farmers and the public to avoid open‑flame activities and to keep fire‑extinguishing equipment ready. Simultaneously, municipal leaders across Kosovo called on the central government to create an Emergency Fund to cover damages from storms, floods and future natural disasters, citing limited local budgets and the need for rapid compensation after events such as the 2022 hailstorm.
