"We were sitting in the living room when the sofa shook. At first we didn't know what was happening, and then we realized it was an earthquake," said one of the readers.
One of the comments left on the Dnevnik Juga Facebook page said, "creaking wardrobes, moving beds, swinging chandeliers" - showing that the earthquake was noticeable.
Other citizens shared similar experiences, confirming that the earthquake was felt in different parts of the city and lasted for several seconds.
According to the data from the Seismological Survey of Serbia, the epicenter of the earthquake was registered at latitude 42.95 north, longitude 21.91 east, in the region of Leskovac.
The Institute noted late this morning that the published data is preliminary and may be subsequently corrected.
