On 13 August 2015 it was announced that the EU and its Member States were sending an expert team through the EU's Civil Protection Mechanism to assist the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia with assessing the damage caused by recent floods and mudslides. Six technical experts coordinated by the EU's Emergency Response Coordination Centre, such as civil engineers for assessment and early recovery of critical infrastructure, were to be deployed from 13-24 August. On March 19 2015, the European Commission had already allocated €84,236 through the International Federation of the Red Cross to assist the population mostly affected by the heavy flooding hitting parts of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia during the winter. |
