- Story Text:Torrential rain, flash floods and landslides wreaked havoc in central and southern Bosnia on Friday (October 4), with at least 14 people feared dead, a civil defence official said.
In Kiseljak, some 20 km west of Sarajevo, the waters had largely receded by midday on Friday, leaving people to clean up mud and debris and assess the damage.
The municipality of Jablanica, where the suspected deaths were reported, was completely cut off as flash floods destroyed roads and railway lines. The area is about 70 km (43 miles) southwest of the capital Sarajevo.
Bosnia's Defence Minister Zukan Helez said local authorities in the Jablanica area had requested help from the airforce to evacuate a child.
In neighbouring Croatia, authorities also issued a severe weather warning for the Adriatic coast and central regions of the country. Montenegro and Serbia issued similar warnings.
