Morning frosts have hit Serbian fruit production hard, mainly affecting early stone fruit varieties.
In the Čačak region, experts from the Institute of Fruit Growing report that 95% of apricot crops have been destroyed.
The damage varies by location, with Vojvodina experiencing more than 90% loss in lowland areas, while areas near Belgrade show 40-50% damage.
Cherries and pears have also suffered, with a complete damage assessment expected by the end of April.
