Both roads linking Shkodra to Dukagjin are blocked. It is learned that in the Qafa Thore-Theth axis the snow level reached up to 60 cm and can not be passed neither with chains nor on foot. Also in the Breg-Mali Shosh axis the snow level reached up to 40 cm and the road is blocked, BW reports.

The residents from 5 days are without electricity because the water supply ditch is blocked by the hydroelectric power station of the nearby village from which electricity is supplied to other villages. Taking into account the difficult situation, tools are needed to unblock the roads and the ditch, but so far no means have been sent to any of Dukagjini's streets. So it is not known how long the residents will stay isolated.

They call for help because they are in difficult conditions due to the fact that there is no single doctor. The situation is alarming and urgent intervention of the institutions is required.
