Hope returned to Črna, von der Leyen says as she revisits flood-stricken town

Črna na Koroškem, 2 September - Accompanied by PM Robert Golob, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Črna na Koroškem on Monday, a good year after the municipality was hit by devastating floods. Von der Leyen, who last year visited Črna five days after the floods, said today's visit was very emotional for her but she could see hope had returned to the town.
