Snowstorm Cuts Power to Tens of Thousands In Bosnia

Parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina were cut off and more than 170,000 people were left without electricity on Tuesday due to a snowstorm gripping the region.

 Despite efforts and continuous work to repair the faults, the electricity supply situation worsened. Currently, 127,000 metering points are without power," distributor Elektroprivreda BiH said.

Elektrokrajina, which covers the municipalities of the Serb entity in Bosnia, Republika Srpska, also announced that around 50,000 of its users are without power." All available field teams have been deployed and have been working since the early morning hours to repair the faults," the company stated.
