Appeals for aid after Balkans floods

Serbia and Bosnia have called for international help to rescue people from inundated areas after the worst flooding since modern records began. Waters are now beginning to recede, but officials say dangers remain. They say that the threat of landslides is an ever-present problem as are the difficulties caused by unexploded landmines in Bosnia and river surges. Serbia's main power plant is still at risk of flooding. Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes. Bosnian Refugee Minister Adil Osmanovic described the flooding as "catastrophic".
