STORYLINE:
Several western Bosnian towns have been flooded after persistent torrential rain, causing hundreds of homes to be evacuated and roads closed.
Footage showed extensive flooding in the village of Pokoj, near the city of Bihac, where some 20 homes were flooded.
Two main roads leading in and out of the village were closed after the River Una, which passes through Bihac, burst through its banks on Monday.
Rain continued to fall in Pokoj on Tuesday as members of the community shared out sandbags to try to block the flood water.
Officials in the nearby town of Bosanska Krupa declared a state of emergency and asked state officials for aid.
Neighbouring Croatia also experienced mass flooding as rescue teams and hundreds of soldiers were deployed on Monday to help parts of the country.
