A natural disaster has been declared for the eastern town of Vinkovci and the municipality of Bosnjaci, which were hit by a summer storm and hail on Monday.

More than 1,100 houses were damaged in Bosnjaci, and properties in Vinkovci were also affected by the disaster.

The local authorities currently need building materials to repair the roofs, chimneys, windows and façades of the damaged houses.
