Serbia has managed to secure additional quantities of electricity from Macedonia, but it is still necessary for the citizens to conserve electricity. State Secretary for Energy Dusan Mrakic noted on Monday that "additional three to four percent" of the current electricity consumption needed to be saved. Electricity supply stable, big freeze until Friday Mrakic pointed out that the current savings of five percent were not enough and that citizens should follow the recommendations for better electricity conservation. The delivery of coal from the thermal power plant in Obrenovac got better from yesterday evening, Mrakic told state broadcaster Radio and Television and Serbia (RTS) early this morning. "We are confident that there should be no power cuts unless power facilities suffer major accidents," the state secretary said, recalling the fact that about 75 percent of electricity in the country is spent by households. The next few days will show if the government's measures were efficient, he said, adding that the situation in Europe is critical but the supply of gas in Serbia is nevertheless stable. The air temperature in the whole of Serbia is still below freezing point 24-hours a day, and the coldest that was measured this morning was minus 13 degrees Celsius. The temperatures will start rising steadily from Friday. Heavy snow and deep freeze have claimed 20 lives, two persons are missing, while so far 239 have been saved, Tanjug leaned from Head of the Serbian Interior Ministry's Emergency Situations Sector Predrag Maric. Maric said that one person went missing in the territory of Medvedja, southern Serbia, while another one disappeared in an avalanche in the territory of Perucac near Bajina Basta, western Serbia, on Sunday. Meanwhile, the authorities managed to reach the crews of a Ukrainian barge and a JRB ship, trapped in ice on the Danube near the town of Smederevo, and deliver food supplies by helicopter.
