PODGORICA, June 21 (Reuters) - A major power outage hit Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania and most of Croatia’s coast on Friday, disrupting businesses, shutting down traffic lights and leaving people sweltering without air conditioning in the middle of a heatwave.

Montenegro’s energy minister said the shutdown was caused by a sudden increase in power consumption brought on by high temperatures, and by the heat itself overloading systems. Power distribution is linked across the Balkans for transfers and trading.

      I would appreciate this mbfc content on smaller less well known sources but imo we can assume Reuters and other big names are already trusted.

      Also this article is a simple reporting of unambiguous events that undoubtedly occurred so there’s really no need to check the source. It’s not an interpretation of a political situation.

      Just trying to save you some time.
