SIBENIK, Jan 14 (Hina) - Southern Croatia's Sibenik-Knin County
prefect Duje Stanicic proclaimed the town of Knin a disaster area
due to the heavy snowstorms which hit it over the past week. #L#
The decision was made at the request of Knin mayor Vinko Maric.
The entire Knin area has been covered by ice and isolated from the
rest of the country due to snow-blocked roads.
A large part of the town and several nearby villages in the
Dalmatian hinterland are without electricity. It is unknown when it
will be restored because repair workers cannot reach the damaged
pylons.
Ice and low temperatures have caused damages to farmland as well.
