Bosnia And Serbia

Top-level international tennis returns this weekend in Belgrade with a charity tournament hosted by world number one Novak Djokovic and where fans will be welcome.

An angry crowd hurling stones and plastic bottles forced Serbia's premier to flee a ceremony on Saturday marking the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre of some 8,000 Muslims in Bosnia.

Bosnia commemorates today the 20th anniversary of the massacre of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the UN-protected enclave of Srebrenica, as debate continues to rage over its description as genocide.

Serbian police today arrested seven people suspected of taking part in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia, in which around 8,000 Muslim and boys were killed, the war crimes prosecutor's office said.

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.

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.

Thousands of people crammed into boats and army trucks fled their homes in Serbia and Bosnia on Sunday after record rainfall turned the Sava river into a deadly torrent and caused the worst floods in more than a century.

More than 15,000 people have been evacuated from a number of towns throughout Serbia after unprecedented floods. Authorities said some 95,000 homes in Serbia and 60,000 in Bosnia have no power at all.
