Boats on the River Danube in Belgrade take full brunt of the big thaw this weekend
The River Danube in the Serbian capital of Belgrade is in chaos as
the big thaw begins to take its toll.
As the solid ice, which brought the busy
waterway to a standstill during the recent freeze, began to melt this weekend,
boats and pontoons took the full brunt. Many were ripped from their moorings
and, entangled in the full flow of ice, there were few that escaped without
serious damage.
According to the BBC website, emergency services in Belgrade say there is no ice
risk to bridges and other infrastructure in the city, and no threat of
flooding.
