Albania, Macedonia Paralysed by Heavy Snow |
|
The heavy snow fall across the Balkans during the New Year holiday has left mountainous areas of Macedonia and Albania cut off and running low on food, with traffic bottlenecks affecting the rest of the region.
The Albanian government called up army engineers and police special forces to free up major highways, while the country’s Center for Civil Emergencies said over 150,000 people had been cut off from the rest of the country in the regions of Kukes, Dibra and Shkodra. Schools remain closed in many areas affected by the snow.
“Police patrols have been stationed 24-hours on major highways, to cope with the difficult weather conditions,” Bujar Nishani, Albania’s Minister of Interior, said on Sunday.
