(14 May 2019) Overflowing rivers in Bosnia and Croatia have flooded dozens of homes and roads, putting the Balkans on high alert after 2014 floods killed dozens of people and submerged large areas of the region.
Several local communities in northern and central Bosnia introduced emergency measures on Tuesday, urging residents living close to rivers to evacuate their homes.
Some schools have cancelled classes, while electricity and water supplies have been disrupted.
In Busovaca, the River Lasva burst its banks and flooded houses in the area.
The rainfall has also caused landslides, closing down local roads.
Local media say residents fear the repeat of the May 2014 floods that devastated the region.
Croatian public broadcaster HRT says firefighters have saved eight tourists, including two children, in a central area.
