Balkan Floods

Slovenia's parliament is expected to approve changes to its laws later today to enable the army to help police guard the border, as thousands of migrants flooded into the country from Croatia after Hungary sealed off its border.

Heavy rainfall has caused rivers to burst their banks on Wednesday, killing one person and flooding houses and roads in the same areas of the Balkans that were devastated in May by the worst floods in 120 years.

The remains of 24 people, believed to be Muslims killed during Bosnia's 1990s war, were exhumed from several graves unearthed by May's devastating floods, an official said yesterday.

Last month's devastating Balkans floods unearthed two mass graves containing the remains of nine Muslims killed during the Bosnian war of the 1990s, a missing person's organisation said yesterday.

A huge clean-up was in full swing in the Balkans on Friday after a week of cataclysmic floods that killed 51 people and sparked the biggest exodus since the 1990s wars.

Floodwaters slowly receded in the Balkans on Thursday after the region's deadliest natural disaster in living memory, revealing widespread devastation and allowing the mammoth task of cleaning up to begin.

Recovering from the historic floods in the last week will cost Bosnia and Serbia billions that neither country has, officials said Wednesday.

The flood-hit Balkans began counting the cost on Wednesday of a devastating natural disaster that has killed at least 49 people and still threatens the Serbian capital Belgrade.

A new calamity emerged Tuesday in the flood-hit Balkans as rescue workers battled overflowing rivers - and were confronted by wastelands of drowned livestock.

The Balkans were on alert Tuesday as swollen rivers were due to reach new peaks after days of devastating floods and landslides that have claimed at least 49 lives.

The Balkans braced for more misery as the death toll from the worst floods in a century rose to 47 and rising waters forced thousands more to flee their homes.

Novak Djokovic, who dedicated his Rome Masters title to the Balkans where floods in Serbia and Bosnia, said he is confident for the French Open.

Floodwaters triggered more than 3,000 landslides across the Balkans on Sunday, laying waste to entire towns and villages and disturbing land mines leftover from the region's 1990s war, along with warning signs that marked the unexploded weapons.

Authorities have declared a state of emergency in three Balkan countries and evacuated scores of people after heavy rainfall caused severe flooding along the Drina River.The flooding in Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro is the worst in a century.
