"A favorable meteorological situation is expected during the coming period, without extreme weather events. Information about a new cold wave and heavy snowfall has appeared in the public.

From February 1 to 4, cold weather is expected and this will not last long, with the lows of -5 to 0 degrees Celsius. Precipitation will be light. On February 1, snow is possible in lower areas as well, but above all in eastern Serbia," said Nikolic.
