Livestock farmers from Suva Planina had previously said that tankers are only a temporary solution to this long-standing problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0kDyCe3N6evC4wwePrTbMbRxBYbHK3EEui3poGJsdthTXVToaKwzCnPmCtGsCp51jl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"596\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ministry: Water Tankers Provided, Animals Saved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Management, Prof. Dr. <strong>Dragan Glamo\u010di\u0107<\/strong>, immediately upon learning that there was a water shortage in the Suva Planina area and that animals were endangered, ordered urgent intervention, according to the Ministry&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For the next 15 days, we will send four tankers with drinking water daily to ensure sufficient quantities for livestock.

Because of this, we farmers tried to solve it ourselves this spring, and we drilled three 100-meter boreholes to reach water, but unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t find any,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our interlocutor also stated that the municipality of Gad\u017ein Han informed them that it lacks the funds to solve the problem of animal thirst on Stara Planina. In this municipality, incidentally, more than 30 villages also lack water, which led to the declaration of a state of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the municipality of Bela Palanka, they are &#8220;completely uninterested in the problems we have,&#8221; Manojlovi\u0107 adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to livestock farmers, and some experts, a permanent solution could be digging wells and capturing water sources, so that livestock could drink there during the dry summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem of thirst for cows and horses on Suva Planina, from which these animals die, is most dramatic when the Rako\u0161 spring, the largest in that part of the mountain, dries up, leaving three large concrete basins that collect water from the spring, and from which animals drink, empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">OSTALE TEME:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/srbija-razbila-rumuniju-delfini-pokazali-umece-i-plasirali-se-u-osminu-finala-svetskog-prvenstva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SRBIJA RAZBILA RUMUNIJU: Delfini pokazali ume\u0107e i plasirali se u osminu finala Svetskog prvenstva!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/drzavljanin-bih-uhvacen-na-hrvatskoj-granici-pokusao-da-unese-cak-200-litara-domace-rakije\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DR\u017dAVLJANIN BIH UHVA\u0106EN NA HRVATSKOJ GRANICI: Poku\u0161ao da unese \u010dak 200 litara doma\u0107e rakije!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/novosadjani-protestovali-ispred-kuce-milosa-vucevica-interventna-policija-potisnula-demonstrante\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NOVOSA\u0110ANI PROTESTOVALI ISPRED KU\u0106E MILO\u0160A VU\u010cEVI\u0106A: Interventna policija potisnula demonstrante!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/bane-je-legenda-boemskog-beograda-svirao-je-titu-lumpovao-sa-tomom-i-cunetom-pa-postao-zvezda-dzeza-u-cikagu-video\/\"><strong>BANE JE LEGENDA BOEMSKO<\/strong><\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/bane-je-legenda-boemskog-beograda-svirao-je-titu-lumpovao-sa-tomom-i-cunetom-pa-postao-zvezda-dzeza-u-cikagu-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">G<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/bane-je-legenda-boemskog-beograda-svirao-je-titu-lumpovao-sa-tomom-i-cunetom-pa-postao-zvezda-dzeza-u-cikagu-video\/\"><strong>&nbsp;BEOGRADA: Svirao je Titu, lumpovao sa Tomom i Cunetom, pa postao zvezda d\u017eeza u \u010cikagu!
