Heavy snowfall caused problems Sunday in much of the Balkans, disrupting public transport.
Flights were canceled at Serbia’s main airport in Belgrade on Sunday, and many areas reported power outages and damage to homes.
Much of western Serbia was without electricity after authorities warned citizens to cut off unnecessary travel, urging people to save energy.
The snow damaged several cars and apartments in Belgrade.
Some flights to and from Belgrade’s main airport were canceled due to weather conditions.
A highway leading to the airport was blocked for several hours due to traffic created as a result of snowfall.
Passengers on a train were stranded for about 7 hours, until they were transported by bus to Belgrade.
Emergency services have assisted authorities in the clean-up operation, while another alert has been issued for more snowfall and frost.
In Bulgaria, meanwhile, heavy rains and floods have devastated the southern part of the country over the weekend, forcing authorities there to declare a state of emergency.
The worst-hit areas are the Smolyan region, near the border with Greece, where rivers overflowed their banks and flooded roads and homes.
Some trucks have been stuck by landslides on an intercity road.
Authorities said strong winds cut off electricity supply to some villages.
In Albania, police, army and emergency forces went to the ground to come to the aid of residents in the flooded areas after three days of continuous rain and snow.
The Vjosa River in the south flooded many areas. An elderly couple who had been staying overnight on the roof of their home in the southwest of the country were rescued by police in the early hours of the morning.
Many roads were blocked as a result of landslides, while in other areas of the country, such as the northeast and southeast, heavy snow has temporarily blocked or blocked the circulation of vehicles.
