What was the extent of the disruptions?
Tourists in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik were left stranded around midday, with restaurants, pubs and supermarkets all closing due to the power outage.
The blackouts also caused traffic lights to stop working, leading to traffic jams in cities like Split, Croatia, and the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo.
Croatia’s national electricity company HEP said blackouts were caused by “an international disturbance that affected several countries.”
“HEP has put all its production capacities into full operation… to ensure the supply of electricity in Croatia as soon as possible,” it said.
