Traffic ground to a halt in Bosnia's capital
PODGORICA - A major power outage hit Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania and most of Croatia's coast on Friday, disrupting businesses, shutting down traffic lights and leaving people sweltering without air conditioning in the middle of a heatwave.
Electricity and wifi networks went down from around 1 p.m. , officials and social media users said.Traffic ground to a halt in Bosnia's capital Sarajevo and the cities of Banja Luka and Mostar, Reuters reporters said, as temperatures hit 40 degrees Celsius in parts of the region. "The failure occurred as a result of a heavy load on the network, a sudden increase in power consumption due to high temperature and the high temperatures themselves," Montenegro's energy minister, Sasa Mujovic, said in a TV broadcast.Montenegro's Vijesti TV said a fire had been spotted in a 400KW transmission line in a rugged area along the border with Bosnia - though it was not immediately clear if this could have been the cause of outages or in some way related to them.
A full investigation would take time, but early analysis suggested that "big volumes of power in the transmission system at the moment and very high temperatures in record levels have created this technical problem,” Balluku added in a video address.
