Fires on Thassos: Serbian Tourists Safe, But Situation Still Alarming!
Have you heard about the fires raging on the Greek island of Thassos? If not, brace yourself! The fires have broken out in popular tourist spots like Nei Pori, Leptokaria, Sithonia, and of course, Thassos itself. While the situation on Thassos has now stabilized, the fires have caused real panic.
Jelena Vujić Obradović, the Serbian Consul General in Thessaloniki, stated that all Serbian tourists on Thassos are safe and that the consulate maintains constant contact with them and the relevant authorities. Serbian tourists can rest easy knowing help is available 24/7.
But let’s be real — how long will this stability last? The fires have affected multiple locations, and nature is unpredictable. These fires are not just a problem for tourists but also for local residents and the entire tourism industry that depends on safety and peace in these areas.
Meanwhile, in Serbia, there is a growing conversation about property insurance. Zoran Ćirić from the Serbian Association of Insurers warns that only 8 to 10 percent of property owners have insurance policies covering catastrophic risks like fires and storms. He suggests introducing mandatory insurance policies for such risks, as climate change is causing more frequent and severe disasters.
Is Serbia ready to face these challenges? Will our tourists and citizens be protected when nature shows its teeth? The fires on Thassos are a warning that we cannot afford to be careless.
If you’ve already planned your vacation or own property, maybe it’s time to think about insurance. What do you think about these fires and tourist safety? Is this just the beginning, or will we manage to tackle this problem? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, or crack a joke to lighten up this tense topic!
