At least five people have been killed in the Balkans after
freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall caused travel chaos
across the region.  Four people have died in Croatia and one in
Serbia as a result of blizzards in the region of south-western
Europe over the weekend, according to officials.  Airports and
roads have been closed during the bad weather, with public
transport in a lot of the major cities also being affected.
People travelling in vehicles waited for four hours on the main
Serbian highway leading from Belgrade to the Hungarian border
before rescue teams freed them from 20 inches of snow that had
fallen in a few hours.  The airport in Zagreb, Croatia, was
closed for several hours on Saturday and several of the nation's
roads were closed because of high winds and heavy snow.
