Citizens are evacuated from flooded areas in Republika Srpska (RS). Traffic is stopped at Pavlovica Most border crossing between Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. State of emergency was declared in Croatia. The most endangered city in Montenegro is Ulcinj.

The condition of flooded areas is still critical in RS, where Janja and Amalija settlements of Bijeljina municipality were flooded Thursday night. About 700 houses are under water in Janja settlement, and its citizens are evacuated.

Stare of emergency was also declared in Foca, Visegrad and Zvornik and in several other BiH municipalities, although the water is slowly receding.

In Montenegro, the situation is dramatic both in the south and in the north of the country. Although 11 Montenegrin municipalities are endangered by flood, the government will not declare state of emergency, country’s Deputy Minister of Emergency Services Zoran Begovic said.

Heightened river level also caused floods in Croatia, and state of emergency was declared in the settlements along many rivers. The worst condition is in the town of Metkovic which is still flooded, although the Neretva River, having reached the highest level in the last 50 years, started to recede.
