The snow that started falling last night and continues today has made it difficult for vehicles to move freely on many roads in Kosovo, but also in Pristina. Citizens have reported difficulties on the Pristina-Peja, Pristina-Mitrovica road, but also on other regional and local roads.
Meanwhile, it has been reported about the blocking of some secondary roads in Pristina. Even on the main roads, queues have been caused, due to the difficulties of vehicles to move.
Also, the citizens have announced that many vehicles are unable to cross the Veternik road. KosovaPress has tried to speak with representatives of the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Municipality of Pristina, but such a thing has been impossible.
