Heavy snowfall has blanketed multiple regions across Serbia, with accumulations exceeding 20 centimeters in some areas.
The persistent snow has led to slippery and icy roads, causing significant traffic congestion in the capital Belgrade, and halting traffic entirely in some higher-altitude areas.
The severe weather has also heavily impacted air travel. Numerous flights have been canceled or delayed at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport due to the heavy snow and low temperatures.
Furthermore, power outages have been reported in parts of the country.
The Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia has issued a warning, forecasting sleet and freezing rain for the country's central region from Monday to Wednesday. These conditions are likely to pose a dual threat to road safety and power stability.
In response to the dangerous conditions, Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs urged citizens on Sunday to prioritize safety and avoid all non-essential travel.

U.S. President Donald Trump and his team are weighing "a range of options" to acquire Denmark's Greenland, including "utilizing the U.S. military," a senior U.S. official said on Tuesday.
The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, including purchasing the territory from Denmark, establishing a free association agreement with Greenland, and utilizing the U.S. military, according to the official.
The official said that Trump would like to acquire Greenland during his current term, and that the issue of acquiring Greenland by the U.S. will not disappear.
According to a White House statement, acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, despite the opposition of some NATO leaders, adding that Trump is actively seeking to reach an agreement.
On the same day, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in a classified briefing that Trump administration's current tough stance on Greenland did not signal an imminent military action and that the core goal is to buy the island from Denmark.
