SHAKE AND BLOW
One killed in fresh Serbia, Croatia floods

Belgrade (AFP) Sept 15, 2014


One woman was killed on Monday after heavy rains brought renewed flooding to Serbia, four months after record floods killed almost 80 in the Balkans, local media reported.

The eastern village of Tekija, on the right bank of the Danube, was among the worst affected. More than 300 of the village's roughly 1,000 residents had to be evacuated, police said in a statement.

The surging waters claimed the life of one elderly woman in the village, state-run RTS television added.

Other parts of east Serbia were also struggling to cope with the floodwaters, including the towns of Negotin, Kladovo and Majdanpek, where more than 50 litres of rain per square metre were recorded.

Neighbouring Croatia did not escape the inundations, with several towns in the central part of the country especially badly hit, including Karlovac and Sisak. The country has seen nearly a week of heavy rainfall.

Some 2,000 people were evacuated from the Karlovac area at the weekend.

Almost two million people were affected by the record floods that swept through Serbia and Bosnia four months ago.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has estimated that the damage from floods in the two countries could cost some 3 billion euros ($4 billion).
