Lockdowns, no power
Snow and storms paralyze parts of the Balkans
Winter weather is causing major traffic disruptions in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia.
In the Adriatic country of Croatia, parts of a highway leading to the coast were closed to all traffic, as were ten other highways. On other sections, the closures due to the storm only apply to larger vehicles such as trucks, double-decker buses and caravans, according to the Croatian Automobile Club HAK.
In the mountainous region of neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina, a total of seven highways were closed to vehicles of all kinds due to heavy snowfall, reported the country's automobile club, BIHAMK.
There have been problems with the power supply in parts of the country since Monday because snowfall and storms have damaged power lines. Tens of thousands of households are without electricity. Repairs are being made more difficult by persistent rainfall, storms and fallen trees and electricity pylons, explained the electricity supplier Elektroprivreda BiH.
