While Ukraine and Russia remain at loggerheads 08 January 2009 over gas supplies and many European states feel the chill as a result, the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been able to watch from the sidelines in relative comfort despite sub-zero temperatures with their own gas supplies unaffected. Despite being former Soviet states like Ukraine, the Baltics receive their gas via different routes, enabling them to avoid the
disrupted supplies encountered elsewhere. Latvijas Gaze?s vast Incukalns storage facility, located half an hour?s drive from the capital, Riga, also supplies gas to Lithuania, Estonia and even parts of Russia itself. EPA/VALDA KALNINA

Reports state that the western Balkan country's were hit by a major heat wave, with temperatures rising to 43 degrees Celsius. The high temperatures caused hundreds of fires in which 6500 hectare of forest were destroyed. The drought that has been present for more than 12 months has inflicted serious damage to Macedonian agriculture and stock breeders. The poor results in agriculture production will force Macedonia to import 60 per cent of it's needs for wheat which will causes serious economical losses. EPA/GEORGI LICOVSKI
