At least 34 people have died after three-months-worth of rain fell across the Balkans, triggering over 3,000 landslides which destroyed entire towns and villages, and displaced tens of thousands of people from their homes.
The floodwaters have also disturbed the nearly 120,000 unexploded land mines left from Bosnia’s 1992-1995 war, as well as warning signs marking where the unexploded weapons lie.
