The balance deepens/ The number of dead from the floods in Bosnia reaches 20
Rescuers continued to search for survivors under rubble in the village of Donja Jablanica on Sunday after Bosnia's deadliest floods in years hit the Balkan country on Friday.

Local authorities say that the number of victims from the floods has reached 20, 15 of them in the area of ​​Jabllanica, 70 kilometers southwest of Sarajevo.

Due to Friday's floods, a quarry above Donja Jabllanicë collapsed and the rubble covered houses and cars in the village.

The floods follow an unprecedented summer drought that caused many rivers and lakes to dry up and damaged agriculture and urban water supplies across the Balkans and much of Europe.

Meteorologists said the extreme weather changes can be attributed to climate change.

Rescue teams from neighboring countries and the EU have joined the rescue efforts in Bosnia.
