Gazprom who provides critical natural gas supplies for many European countries was struggling to meet increased demand for Europe and its own country Russia. Desperate Serbian unemployed found a critical source of need funds by being paid $10 Euro’s per day to help with shoveling snow in parts of Belgrade. Many hundreds are dead across Europe as the freeze continues to snarl flights and road traffic.
