Cold snap across eastern Europe leaves remote areas of country cut off after blizzards
Authorities in Serbia say 11,000 villagers are trapped by heavy snow and blizzards as a cold spell grips eastern Europe.
A police official, Predrag Maric, said on Thursday that those stranded live in remote mountainous areas of Serbia that cannot be reach by icy, snow-clogged roads.
The death toll in Europe from a week of freezing weather rose to 113 people, with reports of 20 more deaths in Ukraine, nine more in Poland and one more in Serbia.
