Flash floods and landslides in central Bosnia-Herzegovina have left at least 18 people dead, with towns and villages cut off and reports in some places of homes being almost submerged.
Some of the worst scenes were in the area around Jablanica, a town on the main route between the cities of Mostar and the capital, Sarajevo, about 70km (40 miles) to the north-east.
A number of other people have been reported missing and a state of emergency has been declared.
Development minister Vojin Mijatovic said the country had witnessed a terrible disaster and appealed for calm.
