The country has declared a state of emergency and in addition to the confirmed dead, several are missing.
– We do not yet know the exact number. I can’t remember a crisis like this since the Bosnian war. The extent of the chaos is terrifying, Darko Juka, spokesman for the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, told the Klix.ba news site.
Worst hit is the town of Jablanica seven kilometers southwest of Sarajevo. The city has been isolated after several bridges and roads collapsed.
