Natural inclemencies (wind, rain, hail, snow) caused damages of approximately 186 047 m3 of the timber volume, which was about 70% of the total damages in state forests. Particularly great damage was caused by the so-called supercell storm in July 2023, especially in the territory of Vojvodina. Remediation of these damages is still ongoing, so it can be surely said that the damages caused by this weather disaster are even greater.
